Class Objects
A class object is an instance of a class. A class object can also be referred to as a class instance, instanced object, or class object.

#Player.gd

extends Node2D

class_name Player

# class variables and functions

#Scene.gd

extends Node2D

var playerInstanceObject = Player.new()

Class Constructors
The class constructor is a particular function in which it is called every time a class object is created.

You define a class constructor using the _init() method:

#Player.gd

extends Node2D

class_name Player

var playerHealth: int

# Class Constructor
_init():
playerHealth = 100

#Scene.gd

extends Node2D

var playerInstanceObject = Player.new()

print(playerInstanceObject.playerHealth) # 100

You are also able to pass arguments into the constructor as well:

var playerInstanceObject = Player.new(200)

print(playerInstanceObject.playerHealth) # 200
