update_angle
Recalculates the angle we're moving at, so that we get a smooth movement line, rather than awkwardly bending from orthogonal to diagonal (or vice versa) at some point.
The way we set the angle is by adjusting the speed we move in each direction. We always move at full speed along the longer axis towards our target. For the other axis, we calculate the right speed to reach our target at the same time we did on the longer axis. The net result is that every time we move, we approach the target along the longer axis, but we only move along the shorter axis at regular intervals, creating as smooth a line as possible.
