move_and_slide() is a built-in function which simplifies character movement.
What does it do:
What does it do:
Moves the body based on velocity. If the body collides with another, it will slide along the other body (by default only on floor) rather than stop immediately. If the other body is a CharacterBody2D or RigidBody2D, it will also be affected by the motion of the other body. You can use this to make moving and rotating platforms, or to make nodes push other nodes.
