What is inheritance?
Inheritance in game development is an object-oriented programming (OOP) principle where a specialized "child" class inherits properties and behaviors (methods) from a general "parent" (base) class. It reduces code duplication by enabling shared functionality—like health, movement, or damage—to be written once in a base class and reused across many specific, derived classes.

An inherited scene in Godot is a specialized scene that derives its node structure and property values from a "parent" (or base) scene. Any modifications made to the parent scene—such as adding nodes or changing properties—are automatically propagated to the inherited child scene, allowing for efficient, DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) workflow.

For our fruit, all behaviour is the same as that of the apple, the only change is to the sprite - visually each fruit looks different.
