I am starting a new project, a space shooter.
What I am attempting is this
About 95% of the screen will be the playfield
But 5% will be a frame surrounding the playfield, and a dashboard displaying the rocket speed, health and damage.
Also an inset map showing the other rockets in the quadrant , sort of like Bosconian
Is this done with layers? Or is there a better way to do this?
Also how can I do the inset to show the enemy locations?
