I feel this is a really dumb question, but it’s giving me grief. I have a main World object that stores all sorts of variables about the game world in its class, that are used in all sorts of routines. And then I have that canvas object with children interface objects, and they have to access those variables for display, without breaking the routines that also need to access them.
How do I go about accomplishing that, in terms of hierarchy structure and code?
Traditionally you have a script on the UI for a particular UI, and it can be one script or 57,000 little tiny scripts.
Those scripts are responsible for updating values from a known central data pool to present however is appropriate: eg., display as a number, display as a slider, graph, etc.
I wrote a general purpose data backing and UI interop package I call Datasacks, and it works like this:
