In this section, we will create a ScriptableObject class and then reallocate the gravity, bgm, and background variables there.

Creating the data class

The ScriptableObject class is part of the UnityEngine namespace. You derive from this class if you want to create objects that don't need to be attached to a game object, but more often, if you are looking for objects meant to save data.

We added the namespace System to use the attribute Serializable. Using this attribute, we...
