Summary

Up until now, your game has worked within a single screen, so you’ve used a static camera. 
In this tutorial, you will use a Unity package called Cinemachine to automatically control your camera without the need for code. You want the camera to follow your main character so they can start exploring a bigger world.
Note: This tutorial requires an internet connection because you will need to download the Cinemachine package.
