Previewing a GUI label in real time
Right now, the root GUI object features two label components that each display default static text for
both the ammo status and health status. This text currently never changes throughout gameplay, as
it is. So we'll need to code extra functionality in the
GUIUpdateStats
class to update the label text on
each frame, displaying the latest Player health and ammo status as the game unfolds. The C# code
for this class is given in Listing 8-7. This class should also be added as a component to the root GUI
object, alongside the labels.
