In this beginner-friendly tutorial you will learn how to reset a scene in Unity back to its original state after the player has died, lost, or even won!
This concept is pretty straightforward, we'll use the SceneManager to load the current game scene again, which will unload the active version that has been mutated, and restore it back to the original version!
I'll also talk a little about how to transition between scenes and when you might consider a loading screen over just swapping levels with a transition!
