How To Make Beginners UI - Indie Edition?

[daverival]

Hi all,

 

I've just bought the Indie Edition of Leadwerks and in just a couple of hours have a map which a player has to run/jump across to get to the end. So far I've been really impresed with the engine but now I've got stuck and havn't been able to find any resources with the answer.

 

I want to implement a timer that shows the players current time. I've had no problem starting and stoping it based on some collision triggers but I have no way to display it to the user.

 

How can I add a UI layer to my application?

 

Additionally, assume I wanted to add an in-game menu how would I add that.

 

Many Thanks

These are how you would do it, However it can get a bit hard if your new to programming.

Here are some scripts that should help you learn and you can use them in you runner game as well
