  Implement 2D kinematic character movement in Godot 4.7 with CharacterBody2D and
  move_and_slide(): platformer run/jump with gravity, top-down 8-direction motion,
  slope handling, and reading collisions. Use when coding a 2D player or enemy
  controller, a platformer or top-down character, or fixing move_and_slide()/
  is_on_floor() behavior in a .tscn with a CharacterBody2D.

# Godot 2D Movement (4.x)

Build responsive 2D character controllers with `CharacterBody2D` and the argument-less
`move_and_slide()`. Targets **Godot 4.7**.

## When to use

- Use when scripting a 2D player/enemy that moves and collides: platformer (gravity +
  jump) or top-down (free 8-direction), slope walking, or wall/floor detection.
- Use when `move_and_slide()` "does nothing", the character sinks through floors, or
  `is_on_floor()` is always false.

**When *not* to use:** dynamic rigid bodies, areas, raycasts, collision layers →
`godot-physics`; tile-based levels → `godot-tilemap`; full platformer game template →
the `platformer` genre skill; engine-agnostic feel tuning → `physics-tuning`.

## Core workflow

1. **Use `CharacterBody2D`** with a `CollisionShape2D` child. It is script-driven: it
   does not fall or react to forces on its own.
2. **Set the `velocity` property, then call `move_and_slide()`** (no arguments in 4.x).
   The method reads `velocity`, moves the body, slides along surfaces, and updates
   `velocity` to reflect what actually happened.
3. **Do it in `_physics_process(delta)`** — `move_and_slide()` uses the physics step's
   delta internally, so do not multiply `velocity` by `delta` yourself.
4. **Platformer:** add gravity to `velocity.y` each tick, jump by setting `velocity.y`
   negative when `is_on_floor()`.
5. **Top-down:** build a direction from input and scale by speed; set
   `motion_mode = MOTION_MODE_FLOATING` so there is no "floor/wall" distinction.
6. **Read results** with `is_on_floor()`, `is_on_wall()`, `get_wall_normal()`, and
   `get_slide_collision(i)` after the call.

## Patterns

### 1. Platformer controller (gravity, jump, slopes)

```gdscript
extends CharacterBody2D

@export var speed := 200.0
@export var jump_velocity := -400.0
@export var gravity := 1200.0          # pixels/sec^2 (tune to taste)

func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
    # Apply gravity while airborne.
    if not is_on_floor():
        velocity.y += gravity * delta

    # Jump only when grounded (Input action set in Project Settings > Input Map).
    if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump") and is_on_floor():
        velocity.y = jump_velocity

    # Horizontal input: -1, 0, or 1.
    var dir := Input.get_axis("move_left", "move_right")
    if dir != 0.0:
        velocity.x = dir * speed
    else:
        velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0.0, speed)   # decelerate to a stop

    move_and_slide()   # 4.x: no arguments; uses and updates `velocity`
```

A fixed `gravity` export keeps tuning simple. To follow the project setting
(*Physics > 2D > Default Gravity*) and any `Area2D` gravity overrides instead, use
`velocity += get_gravity() * delta`, as the built-in CharacterBody2D script template does.

### 2. Top-down 8-direction movement

```gdscript
extends CharacterBody2D

@export var speed := 220.0

func _ready() -> void:
    motion_mode = CharacterBody2D.MOTION_MODE_FLOATING  # no floor/ceiling concept

func _physics_process(_delta: float) -> void:
    # get_vector returns a normalized-ish Vector2 from four input actions.
    var input := Input.get_vector("move_left", "move_right", "move_up", "move_down")
    velocity = input * speed
    move_and_slide()
```

### 3. Reading slide collisions after moving

```gdscript
func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
    # ... set velocity ...
    move_and_slide()
    for i in get_slide_collision_count():
        var c := get_slide_collision(i)
        var other := c.get_collider()
        if other and other.is_in_group("enemies"):
            take_damage(1)        # touched an enemy while moving
```

### 4. Coyote time (forgiving jump just after leaving a ledge)

```gdscript
@export var coyote_time := 0.1
var _coyote := 0.0

func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
    if not is_on_floor():
        velocity.y += gravity * delta
        _coyote -= delta
    else:
        _coyote = coyote_time

    if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump") and _coyote > 0.0:
        velocity.y = jump_velocity
        _coyote = 0.0
    # ... horizontal input + move_and_slide() ...
```

## Pitfalls

- **3.x signature is gone.** `move_and_slide(velocity)` (returning the new velocity) was
  removed. In 4.x set the `velocity` property and call `move_and_slide()` with no args.
  `move_and_slide(velocity, Vector2.UP)` will not parse.
- **Multiplying velocity by delta.** `move_and_slide()` already accounts for the physics
  delta. Setting `velocity = dir * speed * delta` makes the body crawl.
- **Movement in `_process`** instead of `_physics_process` causes frame-rate-dependent,
  jittery motion. Always move in `_physics_process`.
- **`is_on_floor()` always false** when `up_direction` is wrong (default `Vector2.UP`),
  there is no `CollisionShape2D`, or you never called `move_and_slide()` this frame.
- **Sinking through floors** usually means the collision shape is missing/zero-sized, the
  floor body is on a layer this body's mask doesn't include, or you moved the body via
  `position +=` instead of velocity + `move_and_slide()`.
- **Slope slipping while idle:** keep `floor_stop_on_slope = true` (default) and raise
  `floor_snap_length` (default 1 px) so the body sticks to downward slopes.
