Final Thoughts
I enjoyed the project, and I started to love Unity.
The tutorials were great and I started out very quickly. The main issue I found was the use of the command InvokeRepeat in the co routines. At the beginning I planned to use the InvokeRepeat for the Blinking Sphere, but the Cancel Repeat command didn't work.
It didn't stop the Invoke Repeat.
I checked and rechecked the scripts, and then I decided to try other solutions.
Eventually I took the variable "gameTime" in the player script and used it for timing the blinking of the sphere. Not elegant as the Invoke Repeat would have been, but it works.
All the rest went smoothly. I was scared about the "Sphere circular pattern", but it was much easier to implement.
I decided also to Instantiate some of the enemies in the middle of the game, just to increase the rhythm of the gameplay.
Break down your Time:
