Iam new to godot and have started to learn through godot docs. In the chapter “Your first game” https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/step_by_step/your_first_game.html

move_and_slide() is a function of KinematicBody2D. We are not using a KinematicBody2D for the player in this game.

The player object in “Dodge the Creeps” is an Area2D, and we move it by changing its position property.
