Description

**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.
