Please use the Unity Version: 2021.3.38f1, you can download older Unity Versions here: https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive

If you aren't able to complete the task fully, try to plan it out at least - jot down in pseudo-code or comments how you might tackle the problem with more time.

Details

The UI should display and work following these conditions:

• Upon interaction with a UI Button, your system will downloads 3 news articles using an instance of NewsClient.
• The Image, which you can stream using the packaged TextureStreamer static helper class.
• The Contents, displayed using a TextMeshPro UI Text Element
• Each article should be able to be clicked, where it will take the user to the source of the article in their browser.

As a starting point, you should make use of the following scripts: TextureStreamer.cs, NewsClient.cs

Test Scenarios

• A UI Element (E.g. a button) is used to load in the news articles.
