Why not put it just outside the game screen?

I'm not sure how you're doing the movement, but one way to make sure the 45-degree angles work properly is to keep track of a change-in-x and change-in-y variable. They both start at zero, if the up button is pressed you increase the change in y by 1, etc. So for instance if I hold up and right then the change in both x and y is 1, and the movement is automatically a 45 degree angle. Also, holding left and right will make you do nothing :)
