4.2.2
I want to add some HUD to my game (Basic stuff, health bar, death/game over screen, such and such)
The game is a top-down bullet hell-style one:
As you can see, I’m using a CanvasLayer currently; is this the best method for such a game, or are there other, better methods?
Yeah CanvasLayer makes the most sense.
Whatever are the Control nodes for, then? Only menus?
The control nodes can be children of a canvas layer.
CanvasLayer, definitely.
Control nodes constrain elements to a specific area on the screen.
A CanvasLayer decides if its node children will be put infront or behind other nodes.
Because UI elements are typically shown infront of everything else, it makes sense to have a CanvasLayer and all the menus and extensive displays as its children.
