Week 2 | Session 3 - Make the Camera Follow - Apr 1, 2020

This is the same content covered in Lesson 1.3 in the independent Create with Code Course.

What you will make:

• The camera will follow the vehicle down the road through the scene, allowing the player to see where it’s going.

What you will learn:

• Declare variables properly and understand that variables can be different data types (float, Vector3, GameObject)
• Initialize/assign variables through code or through the inspector to set them with appropriate values
• Use appropriate access modifiers (public/private) for your variables in order to make them easier to change in the inspector

To participate in this session and follow along, you need:

• Unity 2018.4 installed
• An up-to-date project open in Unity:
  • If you have followed along with us this week and have your own project ready, you are good to go!
  • You can also download the instructor's up-to-date project and import it (If you don't know how to import a project, you can read how here)

If this is your first Create with Code live learning session, you can catch up by:

1. Following along with the recordings of our previous live learning sessions
2. Completing the same lessons in the independent Create with Code Course

*Note - it is not necessary for you to catch up, but it is recommended for an ideal learning experience.
