🧪 Task: Slow-motion System with Correct Physics

📌 Requirements

You need to implement a "bullet time" (slow-motion) mechanic for a scene with falling spheres.

Requirements:

1. Scene: 3 spheres (Sphere) with a Rigidbody component, falling from a height of 10 meters onto a plane (Plane) with a collider.
2. Script for each sphere: When a sphere hits the plane, it should be destroyed (Destroy(gameObject)) and increase a score counter by +1.
3. Controls:
   • Press Q — slow down time to 0.2 (bullet time).
   • Press E — return to normal speed (1.0).
   • Press Space — pause/resume.
4. Correct physics behavior: When slowing down or speeding up, the physics (falling spheres) should slow down/speed up proportionally. Use the correct methods (Update vs FixedUpdate) and Time.deltaTime / Time.fixedDeltaTime.
5. UI (optional): On-screen text showing:
   • Current Time.timeScale (rounded to 1 decimal)
   • Current score

🎯 Goal of the task

Learn to properly use Time.deltaTime for movement (if spheres were moved manually), Time.timeScale to control global time, and understand how Time.fixedDeltaTime automatically adjusts to time scale for correct physics.

📝 What to implement in code

1. Create a TimeManager.cs script (on an empty GameObject) to handle input and display UI.
2. Create a DestroyOnCollision.cs script for spheres that destroys the sphere and increases the score upon collision with the plane (using a static variable or a reference to TimeManager).
3. Ensure that sphere movement (gravity) correctly reacts to Time.timeScale — thanks to FixedUpdate, no extra work is needed.
4. Add text (UI Text or TextMeshPro) to display Time.timeScale and the score.

✅ Evaluation Criteria

• Pressing Q slows down the falling spheres; pressing E returns to normal.
• Pressing Space freezes everything, but the UI (score and text) may continue updating (if you use unscaledDeltaTime — optional).
• Physics remains stable (spheres do not fall through the floor).
• Score increases each time a sphere is destroyed.
