Task description:

In Unity, program a 2D scene that reads parameters from a file, loads the described 3D objects (e.g. spheres/cubes) and displays them on the screen at random locations. The scene is shown until the user presses a key-- at which point the scene exits and the program returns the time that the scene was displayed for.

Hints:

1. Create an input file with 10 green cubes, 10 green spheres and 1 red cube at various locations (use some 3D coordinates).

2. Prepare code for reading the input file, display the scene (in orthographic or perspective projection in 2D) and add user input (key press for exiting the scene).
