Thanks everyone! I'm going to spend a bit more time with pong - difficulty levels, sound etc then will move onto breakout.

Im not ever going to be a pro at this but it is a hobby I enjoy . If I can spend some time doing it and have fun that is enough for me.

In reply to the poster who said do it without tutorials that's what I do already. I will spend some time looking at guides but just to look for any concepts I did not think of or did not know. Then I will move onto making the game without any external guidance as soon as I think I have the basic idea of it.

For example I looked at a guide on using the unity GUI method as its not somtheing I've ever used before. As soon as I knew how to write the GUI I knew that I could then use my existing knowledge to make the scoreboard.

A lot of things in unity are not intuitive to someone who hasn't used it before. Attaching scripts to a gameobject so I can display the scoreboard being one of them. But now I know how to do it its something I can use again in any other project I start
