The first thing you hopefully noticed when we tested the scene in the previous chapter was that we were just looking in to the distance at nothing. That won't do for a game, traditionally the camera follows the player around the level and responds to their movements. The character in our game at the moment is represented by a blue cube, in our BuildLevel method of our Sokoban script, we assign a name to the player when we instantiate it; to refresh your memory the code in question is as follows:

thePlayer = Instantiate(player,new Vector3 (i,0, j),Quaternion.identity) as Transform;
