Hello all math masters, I got a problem for you:

I have a 2D game (top down), and I would like to make the character escape from a shot, but not just walk away from the shot (I mean, don't be pushed by the shot), I want it to have a good dodging skills.

The variables are:

shotX - shot x position
shotY - shot y position
shotSpeedX - shot x speed
shotSpeedY - shot x speed
charX - character x position
charY - character y position
keyLeft - Set to true to make the character press the to left key
keyRight - Set to true to make the character press the to right key
keyUp - Set to true to make the character press the to up key
keyDown - Set to true to make the character press the down key

I can understand the following languages:

C/C++
Java
Actionscript 2/3
Javascript
