SFML Asteroids help

[iHope]

I would need A LOT of help with making retro game "Asteroids". I can make the sprite to shoot, but movement... I've spent so much time to get the sprite to move like in original asteroids game, but nothing hasn't worked. In original Asteroids game you can't move backwards, only forwards. When you press left or right, your ship rotates left or right. Ship moves forward based on where it's "nose" is pointing. I have no idea how to make this, I've tried this in so many different ways, but nothing just doesn't work.

Im using SFML 1.6

It is not that hard, but you probably need a bit more programming experience first.

Thank you for your quick reply! You're correct about, that I need probably more programming experience. Asteroids looked really fun game project to make, so I chose it. I've made Pong and Snake clones, but Asteroids is far more harder to make(In my opinion)
