The HUD needs to contain the following items:
- Resource Bar - This will contain how much resources the player has and the rate at which they are gaining them
- Main menu button - The player needs to be able to gain easy access to a menu button which will allow the player to quit the game, access options
- Actions bar - The action bar contains all the information of what the player has currently selected. For example when selecting a unit the health and stats of the unit will be displayed. If multiple units are selected then this bar will display icons for each of the units selected. If a building is selected this bar will be used to display the units the building can produce and also the build progress of units currently being created by the building.
- Mini-map - a mini map is needed to give the player a quick overview of the whole battlefield whilst they might be focusing on specific area
Examples are below:
Warcraft III
Supreme Commander
Rise Of Nation
