Character scene

Start creating the Character scene by adding an Area2D and naming it Character. Area2D is a good choice for this type of character because its main function will be to detect overlaps—when it moves onto an item or enemy, for example.

• Sprite
• CollisionShape2D
• Tween (named MoveTween)
• AnimationPlayer

Leave the Sprite without a texture, but in the Inspector, under the Animation section of the Sprite, set its Vframes and Hframes properties to 4 and 5, respectively. This tells Godot to slice the texture into a 5 x 4 grid of individual images.
