Ease of Building UI Elements in Unity
One of my favorite parts when developing a game is creating the user interface (UI)! You can be as creative as you want or just keep it clean and basic. The user interface is what players will see first when opening your game and it is also what brings life to you app.
What is a User Interface (UI)?
UI, or User Interface, refers to the methods (keyboard control, mouse control) and interfaces (inventory screen, map screen) through which a user interacts with your game.
UI can also consist of text, points, damage, lives, and so much more! User interface design in games controls our experience; what we hear, what we see, and what we feel.
Ease of Use in Unity!
In Unity, we are going to create a UI for our game.
Start out by going into the hierarchy > right click > UI > Canvas.
We now have a canvas to work on and an EventSystem.
We now have text that we can edit to create a score in our game scene, or we can swap this out to be an image instead!
