    In a 2D game, I would like to apply force to an object along a random vector. What is the simplest way of doing this?
    I could get a random number between 0 and 360 and convert that to a vector, but there's probably an easier way of doing this?

    Code (csharp):
    1. direction = Random.insideUnitCircle.normalized;
    --Eric
