can I suggest this layout?
Code:
MARIOX99 OOOOO TIME 0X99
9999999 >>>>>>P [ ] 999 CX99
Changes:
- No one will ever need 999 lives. 99 is more than enough for lives.
- Score is put below Mario's name and the label 'SCORE' is omitted. Everyone knows that long string of digits is the score. Also, this being a Mario game, score isn't important at all.
- Moved the Ace Coins over the P-meter.
- Removed 'ITEM' because it's redundant.
- Removed 'WORLD 1-1' because it's redundant.
- Other things were kept in place.
This way, the HUD gets tidier and aligned. Also I'd mode the HP bar a little higher, because the in the middle, it looks like actual objects instead of HUD icons.
