I have a problem where I need to find the x,y coordinates of a point on a circle.

Imagine a point at the origin. I need to be able to work out what the coordinates would be if it moved a certain number of units in a given direction in degrees.

For some reason, after spending an hour or so playing around with sine and cosine my head seems to be going in circles. Can anyone help?
