/* This script will make the player die if they fall through a hole.

If they fall below a certain height (a certain y value), a new scene called "Game Over" will be loaded.

For Debugging purposes, I could make a sample script: it would be similar to the script that makes you go to the next
level when you pick up the purple coin, but, instead of making you go to the next level when you pick up a purple coin,
it would send you to the next level when you fall through a hole (this is just for debugging purposes. I will later make
it so that, if you fall through a hole, you will get a “Game over” screen).

I added a MonoBehaviour script to detect if a Game Object from the Unity Editor falls below the -10 coordinate in the y
axis. If the Game Object falls below that position, the player will be sent to the Game Over Scene. And which Game
Object wil I detect? Tha player character! How? I will go to the Player Character object in the Unity Editor, and I will
drag and drop the FallThroughHole.cs script into the Player Character object. This way, this script will be attached
to the Player Character object, and will detect the Player Character as the Game Object for this script. That way,
if the Player Character falls below the -10 coordinate in the y axis, you will be sent to the Game Over Scene (source:
Copilot).
