Needs mods to work

I loved the Medium article, and it was close to something I wanted to try, so I grabbed it and gave it a shot.

After downloading though, a number of problems occurred and I made fixing them a rainy afternoon Sunday project:

• It uses boo, which is gone in Unity 2018 so I used Unity 2017 LTE
• It needs to have the TensorFlowSharp plugin installed/imported (linked somewhere on this page look for TF Plugin)
• It needs to have the TextMesh Pro package installed/imported from the Unity Asset Store

It then compiled and ran, but to get it to actually work, I needed to change the following things

• There was only one scene that I could find in the project Assets/Scenes/SampleScene, I assumed that was it and loaded it.
• But then the first two GameObjects (the Hoop prefabs) errored out with a "Missing Prefab" messages, so I had to delete them and add the Hoop prefab in Assets manually at x=+8.89 and -8.89. Obviously I had to rotate one of them too.
• Had to add a TextMesh Pro prefab as a child to the Percentage GameObject and set itsText member variable to point to (with drag and drop) that child.
• Dragged and dropped one of the Backboards in one of the Hoop GameObjects to the Transform Goal variable in BallSpawnerController Inspector under BallSpawner - that then becomes what the player is aiming for.
• In the BallController script Changed the names "TriggerTop" and "TriggerBottom" to "DetectorFirst" and "DetectorSecond" to make it recognize the balls dropping through the hoop and updating the Percentage Text (and changing the successful ball colors to green).

I think that was it. Then it worked quite nicely - as in the article. Will look at the Machine Learning stuff now.
