You can write the content of a variable like var first_time: boolean to a file

  1. user load the app, file does not exists. The global variable first_time has value true
  2. file is created with the value false for the variable
  3. things for the first time are executed
  4. user close the app
  5. the user opens the app, it reads the file and set the global variable first_time to false
  6. first time’s code is not executed

There are multiple ways of writing and reading to a file in Godot. I let you Google that (Json, cfg, binary, etc…)
