Today I’ll tell about how to have the ship move by keyboard arrows.

First, add a new script:

Second, add this code in the script:

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerCtrl : MonoBehaviour
{
	public float Speed = 7f;
	Transform Transf;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start ()
	{
		Transf = GetComponent<Transform> ();
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update ()
	{
		if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.LeftArrow)) {
			Transf.position -= new Vector3 (Speed * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0);
		} else if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.RightArrow)) {
			Transf.position += new Vector3 (Speed * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0);
		}
	}
}

What’s going on in this script? Let’s see.

• void Start () – happens once, on object initialization.
• void Update () – happens every frame redraw. Means, as many times as your framerate is.
• Time.deltaTime – keeps the delta time from the previous frame.
