Collectables

All objects in a game that the player is able to collect are called collectables. Probably, you are a gamer yourself and this concept should be fairly familiar to you. In our game, we will add collectable coins scattered in the level's pieces for the player to collect. I am not going to talk too much about what collectables are and why it is good to use them as I believe it is pretty obvious. Let's skip all that and make a simple plan:

• Our collectables—let's call them coins from now on—will be collected on contact with the player game object

• We will write the Collectable class to manage coin behavior

• For every coin collected, we will count and increment the number of collected coins on the UI

• The count of total collected coins will restart with the new game
