A 2D game object, inherited by all 2D-related nodes. Has a position, rotation, scale, and Z index.

Description

A 2D game object, with a transform (position, rotation, and scale). All 2D nodes, including physics objects and sprites, inherit from Node2D. Use Node2D as a parent node to move, scale and rotate children in a 2D project. Also gives control of the node's render order.
