Unity 3D Game Development by Example

Time for action - create a font texture

First, let's create a custom font texture to display some GUIText showing the player how many times he's bounced the heart.

1. Create a new GUIText object and call it Bounce Count. Follow the instructions in Chapter 7 for creating a GUIText object and mapping a font material to it. This time, I chose a font called "Cajun Boogie" because it's ridiculous.
2. Change the font size in the Font Exporter. I chose 45 pt for the font I chose your mileage may vary.
3. In the Inspector panel, set the Bounce Count transform position to X:0.9 Y:0.9 Z:0 to place it in the upper-right corner of the screen.
4. Choose Anchor: Upper Right and Alignment: Right from the GUIText component settings in the Inspector panel.

Now we have a fun ...
