extends Area2Dexport (int) var speedvar tile_size = 64var can_move = truevar facing = 'right'var moves = {'right': Vector2(1, 0),             'left': Vector2(-1, 0),             'up': Vector2(0, -1),             'down': Vector2(0, 1)}onready var raycasts = {'right': $RayCastRight,                        'left': $RayCastLeft,                        'up': $RayCastUp,                        'down': $RayCastDown}

speed will control the movement and animation speed of the character, allowing you to customize the movement speed. As you learned in Chapter 1, Introduction, using export allows you to set the value of a variable via the Inspector. Save the script ...
