Doubly Linked List for Godot

README.md

Use it like:

const LinkedList = preload("LinkedList.gd")

func _ready():
  var ll = LinkedList.new()
	ll.push_back(-1)
	ll.push_back(5)
	ll.push_front(1)
	ll.push_front(2)
	print(ll.size()) # 4
	print(ll.pop_best(funcref(self, "comp"))) # 5
	print(ll.pop_back()) # -1
	print(ll.pop_front()) # 2
	print(ll.size()) # 1

func comp(a,b):
	return a > b

You're welcome!

i.e. this "head" to other's "tail".

And then just making other the new head, I see, but that's what I mean by it only supporting stacking. I think it worth noting that link doesn't support link()-ing at an arbitrary point in the list. Truly not what you intended to do given the single argument to link, but anywho...
