Overview

Summary

This week, you will program a car moving side-to-side on a floating road, trying to avoid (or hit) obstacles in the way. In addition to becoming more familiar with the Unity editor and workflow, you will learn how to create new C# scripts and do some simple programming. By the end of the Unit, you will be able to call basic functions, then declare and tweak new variables to modify the results of those functions. 

Project Objective

Navigate 3D space and the Unity Editor comfortably
Add and manipulate objects in the scene to position them where you want, including the camera
Control the layout of Unity Editor to suit your needs
Create C# scripts and apply them to objects
Use Visual Studio and a few of its basic features

Declare variables properly and initialize/assign them with appropriate access modifiers
