Translational Drive Code

How can we code translational drive off of one joystick? Right now all I can think of is to use and inverse tangent, which obviously isn't possible. Using inverse tanget it would be (for the first quadrant):

tan-1 (p1_y/p1_x) 'then code torotate it using timing or rotation sensor
pwm1=p1_y
pwm2=p1_y
pwm2=p1_y
pwm4=p1_y 'all the motors go forward/backward now that the angle is set, based on how far the drive moved p1_y

Any ideas?
