This page summarizes the current v0.9.4 workflow and keeps Early Access boundaries clear.
Public user route: follow this in small steps. After each meaningful change, run a validation check or Quick Play before adding the next system.

Scenario I: First HUD from zero

Goal: display one value on screen: score, coins, HP, or quest text.

Tools: UI Builder → Visual Logic/variables → Content Validator → Quick Play.

  1. Decide one value to show: score, coins, HP, or quest text.
  2. Open UI Builder and choose a HUD layout.
  3. Add a Label or Resource Counter.
  4. Name it clearly, such as ScoreLabel or CoinCounter.
  5. Preview the UI.
  6. Save/export as a .tscn UI scene.
  7. Instance it in the playable scene.
  8. First show static text; connect dynamic values later.
Beginner rule: first make static text appear. Then make it update. Do not try both at once.
