+## Relevance to UI
+
+A good UI is essentially a graphical representation of the state of the game. Once that state is centralized in one place it becomes easier to make UI that accurately reflects all the data in the game (such as player health, coins collected, points, timers etc.)
+
+Our goals for UI:
+
+* Create a Canvas Layer to float the UI over the viewport
+* Create a Control node to contain our UI nodes
+* Create Container nodes (vbox and hbox)
+* Use a MarginContainer node to wrap our UI nodes
