Move the Player with Actions

Currently, the player object is defined in the scene using a local variable within a single method. This approach won’t work because you need access to the player object from outside of that single method. To fix this problem, you’ll add a new player property to the GameScene and remove the local player variable from the didMove(to:) method.

Still inside the GameScene.swift file, add the following property to the GameScene class, just above the didMove(to:) method:

let player = Player()

Then, change the player set-up code in the didMove(to:) method to match this:

// Set up player
player.position = CGPoint(x: size.width/2, y: foreground.frame.maxY)
addChild(player)
player.walk()

This code gives you ...
