Why does my player accelerate and not stay constant
I have some basic code as I am completely new to development but can't see why my ball object constantly gets faster and faster and doesn't just go a constant speed the whole time.
Here is the code
left_pos = new Vector3(-0.01f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
playerGameObject.transform.position += left_pos * Time.time * ballSpeed;
Shouldn't it just add the negative value to move it left at the same rate the entire time?
Thanks

The problem is this line:
playerGameObject.transform.position += left_pos * Time.time * ballSpeed;
Specifically , Time.time which will return the time since the level started and that gets bigger every frame, thus the acceleration. What you probably want is Time.deltaTime instead.
Hope this helps!
