How it's made
Challenges we ran into Our biggest challenge building GameT was learning Unity, it was a steep journey as this hackathon is the first time we learnt and built with Unity. Big thanks to Sean and the ThirdWeb team for the amazing educational resources that they put out on Youtube, we followed the courses religiously while also learning how to work with and build on unity.
