Today you will be making this:

What is happening:

• The red tank has a script attached that has radius and numWaypoints fields that control the generation of waypoints in a circle around it. It draws sphere gizmos so you can see where the waypoints will be.
• The red tank will follow the waypoints starting at the 0th one and looping back when it reaches the last waypoint.
• The red tank prints the messages using the Unity GUI system to indicate:
  • Whether the blue tank is in front or behind
  • Whether the front tank is inside a 45 degree FOV
  • Use the Unity reference to figure out what API's to call!
