This tutorial provides an example of creating a character
and having it walk around on uneven terrain, as well
as implementing a fully rotatable camera.

I’m really sorry, but can you guys please explain me simply in step by step? I’m a newbie, so I don’t really understand anything except some for importing and camera positioning
Q1. How can I bind keys (E.G. W as a forward moving)to character?
Q2. In source code, he just wrote ‘starting position’. Don’t you have to specify where it starts?
Q3. How do I bind keys for camera rotation?
Q4. I don’t get some usual codes like ‘Self’ and how the words could do everything in Panda 3d. (E.G. getfullpath)
Really really sorry for wasting your valuable times, but I think that this is the way I could hear about other’s opinion and make it easier to understand.
Really really sorry.
