In this chapter we have learned how to build a UI for our game. We have explored setting up a UI using the Unity GUI APIs, as well as setting up a UI using the leading third party plugin Prime31 UIToolkit.
Specifically, we covered:
- How to build an immediate mode GUI with the standard GUI library
- How to build a GUI using the Prime31 UIToolkit
- Some concerns about GUI performance
Now that we are finished putting together the UI, we need to handle more complex gameplay scripting for our game – which is the focus of our next chapter.
