Chapter 5. HUD, Parallax Background, and the Pause Button

In this chapter, we will see how to create a custom font for the game, like the font we added in the last chapter. We will create a new layer for HUD and the pause button. We will also create a scrolling background layer and remove the current static image we have been using so far.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

• Text and fonts

• Creating HUD layer and displaying as well as updating scores

• Adding the pause and resume buttons

• Implementing pause and resume in the game

• Adding the scrolling layer class

• Creating the parallax scrolling layer
