the time passed since last frame

A

Time.deltaTime

44
Q

Applies a rotation of eulerAngles.z degrees around the z axis, eulerAngles degrees around the x axis, and eulerAngles.y degrees around the y axis (in that order)

A

Transform.Rotate

Q

a type of asset – a reusable GameObject stored in Project View

A

Prefab

46
