Explain that "position" is an inbuilt variable explicitly in lesson three of the Getting Started documentation #10042

Open mickeybeurskens opened 2 weeks ago

Your Godot version: 4.3

Issue description: In this lesson there is a section where you are assigning new value to a position variable for the player. This might be a bit confusing. Mentioning the existence of inbuilt variables seems like a good learning opportunity as well, so my suggestion would be adding some explicit mention as a small quality of life feature in this lesson.

Would love to provide a suggestion, but looking to see what the community thinks first.

The docs repo is pretty low traffic, as you can see. If you have a specific change in mind, and the change is small (fixing a typo, adding a couple sentences or a note block), I would recommend just making a PR with the change.

You can also check out the documentation or new contributors channels of the contributors chat if you want to discuss a change beforehand.
