There may come a time in a game when a player makes a mistake and would like to restart the level in the game they're currently playing.

We will perform the following steps:

  1. Open up the PauseMenu script and add the following highlighted code:

          isPaused = false;
        }
    
        if (GUILayout.Button ("Restart"))

        GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
