Summary
In this chapter, we introduced the basics of UI, understanding the Canvas and RectTransform components to locate objects onscreen and create a UI layout. We also covered different kinds of UI elements, mainly Image and Text, to give life to our UI layout and make it appealing to the user. Finally, we discussed how to adapt UI objects to different resolutions and aspect ratios to make our UI adapt to different screen sizes, even though we cannot predict the exact monitor our user will be playing the game on.
In the next chapter, we will start seeing how to add animated characters to our game.
