Hello @arnoldkmwaura!

This code will make the character move constantly to the right and when space is pressed, it will start constantly moving up:

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class moveConstantly : MonoBehaviour {
     Vector2 moveForward;
     bool canGoForward = true;
     bool canGoOtherDirection;
 
     void Update () {
         if (canGoForward) { 
             moveForward = gameObject.transform.position;    //When the game starts it will start to go to the right
             moveForward.x += 0.1f;
             gameObject.transform.position = moveForward;  
         }
         if (canGoOtherDirection) 
         {
             moveForward.y += 0.1f;
             gameObject.transform.position = moveForward;
         }
             
         if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.Space)) //When space is pressed, it will start to go up
         {
             canGoForward = false;
             canGoOtherDirection = true;
         }
     }
 }

I HOPE THIS HELPS!

Thanks,can you also use it to make it move to the left

Yes to make it move to the left simply type this code:

  moveForward.x -= 0.1f;
  gameObject.transform.position = moveForward;  

To make it go down simply type this code:

 moveForward.y -= 0.1f;
 gameObject.transform.position = moveForward;

You should also to multiply by time.deltatime because the character is going to move 0.1 units every frame if you don't
