How to make a 2D sprite follow mouse in Godot

Question

Please provide minimal code example of Sprite following the mouse in Godot. There are complex and big sample projects, but I didn't found nothing small and clear.

Answer 1

Put the Sprite node in the scene, and attach the following script to it.

const SPEED = 500

func _process(delta):
    var vec = get_viewport().get_mouse_position() - self.position # getting the vector from self to the mouse
    vec = vec.normalized() * delta * SPEED # normalize it and multiply by time and speed
    position += vec # move by that vector
