UI: Coins

Quick update:

Since the engine is working as far as a standard racing game goes, I wanted to put more effort into recreating the UI from the original game. Most of the UI is easily recreatable since a lot of it is just text, the most complex element is the rotating coins.


These are originally 64x64 and look very pixelated, I then upscaled them and this is the result:



The new sprites are 256x265, they look clean and will upscale nicely in HD resolutions. The only downside to these is that I couldn't find the original font used for the "2049". I have them saved as templates, so if i ever do come across a similar font I can easily change it.



The next step is to render the coin spinning and exporting the frames to either make a gif or just use the frames as an amination. Then finally, add it all in-game.
