I’m a relatively young java developer. I don’t know much geometry yet. I need to know what the algorithm is (in code form) to move an object towards the direction it is rotated in. Thanks!

(Learning basic geometry/basic vector math would help a lot i.e. http://www.helixsoft.nl/articles/circle/sincos.htm)
If your direction is some sort of vector – just offset current position by corresponding x and y components (potentially scaled).
If you direction is by angle – use sin/cos to compute offsets and scale:
To transform degrees to radians – divide by PI.
