onready var sprite = $Sprite

var y_velo = 0
var facing_right = true

func _physics_process(delta):
    var move_dir = 0
    if Input.is_action_pressed("move_right"):
        move_dir += 1
    if Input.is_action_pressed("move_left"):
        move_dir -= 1
    move_and_slide(Vector2(move_dir * MOVE_SPEED, y_velo), Vector2(0, -1))

    var grounded = is_on_floor()
    y_velo += GRAVITY
    if grounded and Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump"):
        y_velo = -JUMP_FORCE
    if grounded and y_velo >= 5:
        y_velo = 5
    if y_velo > MAX_FALL_SPEED:
        y_velo = MAX_FALL_SPEED

    if anim_player.is_playing() and anim_player.current_animation == anim_name:
        return
    anim_player.play(anim_name)

Check the documentation for InputEventMouseButton
For a simple answer you could create a new _input handler like:

func _input(event):
    if event.type == InputEvent.MOUSE_BUTTON and event.button_index == BUTTON_LEFT and event.pressed:
    anim_player.play(..

It's also worth learning how to use InputMap to properly handle inputs from different sources. I think all of this is quite well covered in the docs, do make sure to follow the tutorials there, learning how to search and navigate the documentation will help you learn the engine much more quickly :) Good luck!
