GUI and Menus

Abstract

With the inclusion of Unity’s long-awaited Unity UI, graphical interfaces have become both more powerful and more complex. The trade-off is that you no longer have to code everything for location and interaction. In this chapter, you will be filling in a few last parts of your game by providing a heads-up display (HUD) for your in-game play statistics to put a bit more pressure on the player. You will also be creating a simple menu. Although your game has only one level, you will allow your player to adjust the difficulty at the beginning of each session.
