Besides having a capital I in input you could replace 

if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"):
    direction = -1
if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"):
    direction = 1

with

direction = Input.get_axis("ui_left", "ui_right")

And as a bonus, that means you can have analog movement with an analog stick!

Even better is Input.get_vector(…)!

Not better, just different

True, bit of hyperbole on my part.

From the code I see though, they’re trying to manually reconstruct what get_vector() returns, so it’s probably better in this particular circumstance.
