move_and_slide

Sliding is a very common option for collision response. Imagine a player moving along walls in a top-down game or running up and down slopes in a platformer. While it's possible to code this response yourself after using move_and_collide(), move_and_slide() provides a convenient way to implement sliding movement. When using this method, the body will automatically slide along the colliding surface. In addition, sliding collisions allow you to use methods like is_on_floor() to detect the orientation of the colliding surface.

Since this project will require not just moving along the ground, but also running up and down slopes, move_and_slide() is going to play a large role in your player's movement. You'll see how it works as ...
