I started a tutorial in unity where I created a plane and some primitive objects then a cube which I turned into Glass. Then I put a cylinder behind it to show off the glass but I cant find this tutorial to continue. I called it Exploring Unity but that brings up all the started kits which I am not looking for
Any ideas anyone ???
Did you check your browser history?

Good idea except I have 2 laptops I use and each has 3 or 4 browsers… this could take some time … 
Thank you - I am dissapointed to say I found it - not where or what I thought I was looking for… - It was the RayWenderlicht.com tutorial I had started a few weeks back - My memory told me it was a Unity Tutorial - I liked its simplicity
- I had started looking at "https://www.raywenderlich.com/5589-unity-tutorial-part-1-getting-started" when I got distracted I found “https://www.raywenderlich.com/7514introduction-to-unity-getting-started-part-1-2” but when I worked through the second part of that I had missed before I saw it was only 2 articles.
I had given up hunting for it but thought it was more than it was -
There are 3 parts to the first but it seems these are just a taster for the book -
“https://store.raywenderlich.com/products/unity-games-by-tutorials”
I have worked through them and keep finding little bits being experienced with coding but new to Unity it is quite frustrating having to work through the basics again and again just to make sure you dont miss a key point that is vital. I managed to get the game working in the second part of the first tutorial of that tutorial but am having a silly issue with a reference to a game object after the player has died and respawned - I am sure I will find it - I wouldnt be bothered but it stops the asteroids from spawning - not sure I want to spend 50 bucks on a book
thanks any way

There are tons of free online guide and tutorials.
Just be aware about Unity version that they were made for. Specially books.
Or otherwise, make sure, you have same Unity version as per tutorial.
Btw. many books are copying online tutorials anyway. So be aware x2.
Thanks I took a day out and found the one I had stumbled on - dissapointed RayWundelicht are putting out teasers to sell books - I take your point about the version they are for I am strugging with that with the code I found that dragged me into unity in the first place ( though I did come reasonably willingly I admit) - I mean the tutorial I had found was good… I thought very good but only had 2 parts so I went on a search for the book it was part of and supposedly was an extract from but that cost 50 bucks which I just havent got…
Thanks again
