Text Input and Custom Fonts (Godot Retro Text Adventure Tutorial #2)

In this tutorial we add a LineEdit node so that we can collect text input from the player in our Zork-like retro text adventure in Godot. We go over some basic input handling and add a caret to our text input field to indicate where the user should type. We also go over how to import custom fonts into Godot engine, and use the imported font data to create new custom font resources we can use.
