Summary

We touched on a few of the features and components of the new Unity UGUI system and how it works. We gave a brief overview of building a simple Options menu with some text elements, buttons, and graphics. We also looked at building a mask to hide images behind.

The new UGUI has a lot more to it, and you can only grow by digging deeper into the Components and anchoring systems. Try building your own complex interfaces, and remember the various resources and tutorials provided by Unity.

With that, good luck. We hope this has been an informative guide and valuable learning experience, and that this guide has gotten you off on the right foot so that you can build your own exciting worlds and gameplay that we will all get to experience!
