Updating the UI with Details (such as score) Part 1.

Now that we have a text box in our scene, how do we update it with the information we want shown?

The first thing we need to do is add a script called; lets say; UIManager to our canvas. The canvas is the best place to attach the script, since this is what it will be mostly acting upon.

Next, we will need to add another library to use at the top of this script; as below:

This will allow us to access many UI elements; such as Text. Now we need to make a reference to our text; as below:

Now, if we save the script, and hop into Unity, we can drag and drop the Score_text from our Canvas into the UIManager script; as shown below:

Now, if we add the following code to the UIManager Start() method.

Then save it, and hop back into Unity and run it, we will get:

Now that we have manipulated the text on screen through code, how do we go about making the score increase?
