I'm having trouble trying to get my character to move for a game I'm making in my sparetime for the Xbox. However, I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong , and I'm not even sure if I'm doing it right. I've tried googling tutorials on this but I haven't found any helpful ones. Mainly, ones on 3d rotation on the XNA creators club website.

My question is : How can I get the character to walk towards the right in the MoveInput() function? What am I doing wrong? Did I code it wrong?

The problem is : The player isn't moving. I think the MoveInput() class isn't working.

Here's my code from my character class :

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input;

namespace Jumping
{
class Character
{
    Texture2D texture;
    Vector2 position;
    Vector2 velocity;
    int velocityXspeed = 2;
    bool jumping;

    public Character(Texture2D newTexture, Vector2 newPosition)
    {
        texture = newTexture;
        position = newPosition;
        jumping = true;
    }
    public void Update(GameTime gameTime)
    {
        JumpInput();
        MoveInput();
    }
    private void MoveInput()
    {
        //Move Character right 
        GamePadState gamePad1 = GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One);
        velocity.X = velocity.X + (velocityXspeed * gamePad1.ThumbSticks.Right.X);
    }

    private void JumpInput()
    {
        position += velocity;

        if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Buttons.A == ButtonState.Pressed && jumping == false)
        {
            position.Y -= 1f;
            velocity.Y = -5f;
            jumping = true;
        }

        if (jumping == true)
        {
            float i = 1.6f;
            velocity.Y += 0.15f * i;
        }

        if (position.Y + texture.Height >= 1000)
            jumping = false;

        if (jumping == false)
            velocity.Y = 0f;
    }
    public void Draw(SpriteBatch spriteBatch)
    {
        spriteBatch.Draw(texture, position, Color.White);
    }
}

}
