Print in Godot

Part of the Nodes and Scenes section of Coddy's Godot journey. Lesson 3 of 27.

print() can take several values, separated by commas. It writes them on one line, with nothing in between:

print("Lives: ", 3)

That prints Lives: 3. The space after the colon is inside the quotes, so it is printed too.

position is where a node stands. Printing it shows two numbers, how far right and how far down:

print(position)

For the robot this prints (320.0, 180.0). Printing values shows you what your game is doing.

Challenge

Easy

When the game starts, make the robot print where it is, as I am at (320.0, 180.0). Use position, not the numbers.

Try it yourself

extends Node2D

func _ready():
	print("I am at")
