⤴ Part 4 - Steer the player

Estimated Time: 45 Minutes

📝 Summary

In this tutorial, you’ll create a controllable player ship that turns to face your cursor and moves in that direction when you click the left mouse button. Along the way, you’ll learn how to detect input, convert mouse cursor position into world space, apply directional thrust, and respond to collisions — all using Unity’s physics and input systems.
