In the previous chapter, we moved from the testLevel scene (where we controlled the player ship) to a shop scene (buying and calibrating the player's ship). In this chapter, we will be following a similar trend of stretching out to the rest of the other game scenes in our Scene folder (found in the Project window in the Assets folder).

Eventually, all game loops will loop back to somewhere near the beginning. The following image shows what our game loop will look like by the end of this chapter:
