This week, we replicate last week’s accomplishments in a matter of minutes by using the tools that Unity affords us. This frees up extra time to build out even more of our game, and allow us to start working on…

In this exercise, we are going to create the beginning of a Pong style game from scratch. We will use Unity primitives to create a playing field, make objects move with code and input from our keyboard, and finally have…
