Monogame smooth Tile to tile movement

@bballkiller wrote:

So basically what I want to achieve is a 'smooth' movement from tile to tile.

My map has 32x32 px tiles and my player is also 32x32. I'd like for the movement not to be instant, and also blocks other simultaneous keypresses, like in the old gameboy Pokemon games you know....

I cannot figure out how to limit the speed so it waits until the player has reached the destination tile

Thats what i already have so far:

Player class:

   public Player()
   {
      state = State.Idle;
      destination = Sprite.Hitbox;
   }

   ...

   public void UpdatePosition(GameTime gameTime, Input input)
   {
    switch (state)
    {
        case State.Idle:
            if (input.IsKeyDown(Keys.Up) || input.IsKeyDown(Keys.Z))
            {
                Sprite.Direction = Direction.UP;
                Sprite.AnimationTimer += (int)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalMilliseconds;
                if (Sprite.Hitbox.Y > 0)
                {
                    destination.Y -= 32;
                    state = State.MovingUp;
                }
            }
            else if (input.IsKeyDown(Keys.Down) || input.IsKeyDown(Keys.S))
            {
                Sprite.Direction = Direction.DOWN;
                Sprite.AnimationTimer += (int)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalMilliseconds;
                if (Sprite.Hitbox.Y < (Globals.SCREEN_HEIGHT - Sprite.Hitbox.Height))
                {
                    Sprite.AnimationTimer += (int)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalMilliseconds;
                    destination.Y += 32;
                    state = State.MovingDown;                            
                }
            }
            else if (input.IsKeyDown(Keys.Left) || input.IsKeyDown(Keys.Q))
            {
                Sprite.Direction = Direction.LEFT;
                Sprite.AnimationTimer += (int)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalMilliseconds;
                if (Sprite.Hitbox.X > 0)
                {
                    destination.X -= 32;
                    state = State.MovingLeft;                        
                }
            }
            else if (input.IsKeyDown(Keys.Right) || input.IsKeyDown(Keys.D))
            {
                Sprite.Direction = Direction.RIGHT;
