The following screenshot is an example of the animation:
Add the following line to the WorldController class:
public float livesVisual;
After this, make the following changes to the same class:
private void init () {
Gdx.input.setInputProcessor(this);
cameraHelper = new CameraHelper();
lives = Constants.LIVES_START;
livesVisual = lives;
timeLeftGameOverDelay = 0;
initLevel();
}
public void update (float deltaTime) {
handleDebugInput(deltaTime);
if (isGameOver()) {
timeLeftGameOverDelay -= deltaTime;
if (timeLeftGameOverDelay< 0) backToMenu();
} else {
handleInputGame(deltaTime);
}
level.update(deltaTime);
testCollisions();
cameraHelper.update(deltaTime);
if (!isGameOver() &&isPlayerInWater()) {
lives--;
if (isGameOver())
timeLeftGameOverDelay = Constants.TIME_DELAY_GAME_OVER;
else
initLevel();
