Modifiers

Something that might make coding easier is to find shortcuts to represent code to set things such as coordinates where one coordinate is a 1 or -1. Then, to change the one value, multiply the variable or shortcut by a modifier.

We've done this with speed and jumpHeight variables in different class activities, especially Mario.

Here are the 3D shortcuts for Unity:

Shortcut	Equivalent
Vector3.up	Vector3(0, 1, 0)
Vector3.down	Vector3(0, -1, 0)
Vector3.left	Vector3(-1, 0, 0)
Vector3.right	Vector3(1, 0, 0)
Vector3.foward	Vector3(0, 0, 1)
Vector3.back	Vector3(0, 0, -1)

These can be multiplied and divided as an easy way to adjust the value on just one axis.
