ExamTimer

A simple Unity application for tracking time during exams.

Overview

ExamTimer displays a real-time timer to help instructors and students monitor elapsed time during an exam. The timer is split into two values shown on screen:

Display	Description
Top	Seconds elapsed within the current 30-second cycle (0–29)
Bottom	Number of completed 30-second intervals

Tap (or click) anywhere on the screen to reset the timer back to zero.

The scene also spawns physics balls at regular intervals as a visual indicator.
