Hey,

  1. How is it possible that we use Rigidbody2D component.velocity if ther’s no velocity field in the inspector (in the Rigidbody2D component section)?

  2. What’s those <> brackets do?

  3. And just to make sure that I understood - does the click give the ball xPush units / sec and yPush units / sec? (Velocity is distance / time)

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi Niv,

Thank you for your question. :slight_smile:

  1. velocity is part of the Rigidbody2D class, which we didn’t create. Not all variables appear in the browser.

  2. <> doesn’t “do” anything. There is a special type of methods in C# called generic methods. Their syntax requires <>, in which we tell the computer what type we use here.

  3. You are right. The velocity is WU per second.
