Hey hi hello! I'm super excited to finally share a new video and tutorial! Today we will learn how to move our characters relative to the camera's angle.

Understanding the code that we right is super important! So while we are legitimately looking at about a dozen lines of code and breaking them down one at a time, it's much better than simply copy-pasting code off of stack overflow, the unity forums or github and not knowing how it works!

Let's learn about vectors and space to get our characters moving in the right direction!
