Player ship
The player ship is the heart of the game. Most of the code you'll write for this project will be about making the ship work. It will be controlled in the classic Asteroids style, with left/right rotation and forward thrust. It will also detect the shoot input to allow the player to fire the laser and destroy the floating rocks.
Body setup and physics
Create a new scene and add a RigidBody2D named Player as the root node, with Sprite and CollisionShape2D children. Add the res://assets/player_ship.png image to the Texture property of the Sprite. The ship image is quite large, so set the Scale property of the Sprite to (0.5, 0.5)and its Rotation to 90.
Note
The image for the ship is drawn pointing upwards. In Godot, a rotation of 0 degrees points to the right (along the x axis). This means you need to set the Rotation of the Sprite node to 90 so it will match the body's direction.
In the Shape property of CollisionShape2D, add a CircleShape2D and scale it to cover the image as closely...
