9. HOW IT WORKS
 In Unity, we’ll building objects and attaching them to game entities
 If you want a ‘Mook’ object that handles AI for an enemy in your game
 You’d write a ‘Mook’ class
 Then attach that file to every enemy entity
 When you run your game, each enemy will be equipped with a copy of the ‘Mook’ object

10. A CLASS FILE LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE THIS
using UnityEngine;
public class Mook : MonoBehaviour {
private float health;
void Start () {
health = 100;
}
void Update(){
if (health > 0){
//search for player
//if you encounter the player on the road, kill him
//if you get shot, remove a random amount of health
}
}
}
