Part 4 – User Interface

The final piece your game needs is a user interface (UI). This is an interface to display information that the player needs to see during gameplay. In games, this is also referred to as a Heads-Up Display (HUD), because the information appears as an overlay on top of the game view. You'll also use this scene to display a start button.

The HUD will display the following information:

  • Score
  • Time remaining
  • A message, such as Game Over
  • A start button
