A geek of the highest order, Terence speaks a great number of (programming) languages and dabbles in a couple of tech fields. He writes about common problems programmers come across in this blog.

This article will be free until the video is released.
In Part 14, we are going to be improving upon the pickup system, and the UI overlay that pops up when you pick up an item. We are also going to be using the hit stop system that we made in Part 11 for the UI interlude that happens whenever we pick up an item.

In the next part of our tutorial series, we will be implementing a save functionality for our coins and coin pickups. We'll be introducing a coin system that persists across play sessions, allowing players to track their progression. Alongside this, we'll add new pickups that reward players with coins during gameplay.
Currently, there are no persistent rewards tied to completing levels. By introducing collectible and usable coins, we create a more engaging experience where players feel rewarded for their efforts and have meaningful goals to work toward.

In the last part, we focused on building a new, modular and much simpler way of handling UI. We are following this up in Part 13 by upgrading and simplifying the code for our health and mana UI as well, as there are a couple of problems with it.

Continuing on from our Character Select Screen, lets do up a Level Select (or Stage Selection as Vampire Survivors calls it) for our player to both choose what map they'd like to play on, as well as view the level's info such as the time limit, bonuses and more. We'll also be introducing level buffs that can affect both players and enemies, adding variety to your level's mechanics and making each level more unique
Currently, our tutorial series only has one level, which is the Mad Forest, so with this new level select that we're gonna be implementing, it will enable us to create new levels much easier.

It's been a while since we've done anything new on our Character Select Screen and currently, you'll notice that it is extremely plain: A set of buttons describing the name and weapon of the character without any visuals or extra info. Hence in Part 24, we'll be adding proper character icons, a description box, and a stats section so players know the exact stats of the character they'll be selecting.
