BattleUI

As mentioned previously, BludBourne uses a simple interface for fighting monsters, inspired from the first person's perspective of Dragon Warrior. The following screenshot (Figure 9) represents the individually labeled components of the BattleUI class:

The BattleUI class is composed primarily of an AnimatedImage custom class and a Table with action TextButton widgets used by the player during the battle. The BattleUI window is configured so that the player's StatusUI is always on top, which gives the player access to their inventory so that they can equip items or use consumables during battle. The StatusUI also indicates the current HP and MP left.

We will now walk through the source of the BattleUI implementation, which can be found at core\src\com\packtpub\libgdx\bludbourne\UI\BattleUI.java:
