Ready Runs Once
Part of the Nodes and Scenes section of Coddy's Godot journey. Lesson 2 of 27.
Godot calls _ready() once for each node, when the node joins the game. Use it for what a node does when it appears, like setting its place or printing a greeting.
Lines inside a function run from top to bottom. These two print() calls write two lines in the Console, in this order:
func _ready():
print("First")
print("Second")Every line inside a function starts with a tab. The tab tells Godot the line belongs to the function. A line with no tab is outside it.
Challenge
EasyWhen the game starts, make the robot print two lines, in this order:
