add an export variable to control player speed
Code the physics process function
create a direction variable
find out which direction the player is moving in
if the player is moving diagonally
we normalize the direction
which just means making it 1 so that
the player moves at the same speed
finally apply the movement
and call the move and collide function
Run the project to test the movement
You can move the player in all directions
