  13. void Update () {
  15. float xDirection = Input.GetAxis ("Mouse X");
  16. float yDirection = Input.GetAxis ("Mouse Y");
  18. transform.Rotate (-yDirection, xDirection, 0);
  20. CheckIfRayCastHit ();
  21. }
  22. void CheckIfRayCastHit (){
  23. RaycastHit hit;
  24. if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, transform.forward, out hit)){
  25. print (hit.collider.gameObject.name +"has been destroyed!");
