But you see how tedious and bulky the code gets with only a few evil spheres. What if you had a

Tags
Tags are an important scripting tool that allow you to sort and identify groups of game objects such
as evil spheres, which in turn simplifies your code.
In the Hierarchy, select Sphere_001 and take a look at the Inspector, where you'll see an option for
Tag near the top, just below the game object name (Figure
