Minor fixes in getting started

[FelixBurkhard]

Hey everyone,

I just started exploring Godot and went through the Getting Started part. I noticed a few thing that I think should be changed:

1. The Dodge the Creeps! string was not consistent through the page.
2. The \n should be removed from the Label Text because the Label should do the wrapping.
3. There were two reminders to remove the new_game() call with only a few lines in between.
4. The async method in C# should probably return a Task instead of void. I am not 100% sure about this, as I didn't dig into how the method is actually called. Also I think this is fine if done intentionally to not confuse users who are new not just to Godot but to coding in general.

As someone who is new to game development I must say I really liked the Getting Started docs! A big thanks to all the contributors!

The callstack basically goes <signal> -> Main.GameOver() -> HUD.ShowGameOver().
If HUD.ShowGameOver() returns a Task, then we'd want to await it in the caller (and make it async too). It makes sense "idiomatically" I think, since it's the real end of the callback trail. In this particular case, I worry about it being confusing, since we declare Main.GameOver() in the previous chapter of the tutorial. We'd preemptively declare it as async, and would have to explain why that is 🤔 (and IMHO when async void is and isn't acceptable breaks the scope of the tutorial).

yeah I agree. didn't really think the callstack through 😄 -> reverted async part
