Hey BYOND game developers! Want to add a HUD to display player stats in your game? You can easily achieve this by turning stats into a HUD object. Here's how to do it.

Step 1: Define Your Stats

Start by defining the stats you want to display in the HUD. These could be health, mana, experience points, or any other relevant stats for your game.

Step 2: Create a HUD Object

Next, create a HUD object in your BYOND project. This object will be responsible for displaying the player's stats on the screen.

Step 3: Update the HUD Object

In the HUD object, use the `JSON` library to convert the player's stats into a JSON format. This will allow you to easily manipulate the data and display it on the HUD.

Step 4: Display Stats on the HUD

Once you have the stats in a JSON format, you can use the HUD object to display them on the screen. Use the `client/New` proc to send the JSON data to the client and update the HUD display accordingly.

Step 5: Update Stats in Real Time

To ensure that the stats on the HUD are always up to date, use `interval` procs to regularly update the JSON data and refresh the HUD display.

Step 6: Add Styling and Design

Finally, use BYOND's built-in UI features to style and design the HUD to match the aesthetic of your game. You can add backgrounds, borders, and other visual elements to make the HUD visually appealing.

By following these steps, you can easily turn stats into a HUD object in your BYOND game. This will provide players with important information at a glance and enhance the overall gaming experience. So go ahead and give it a try in your next project!
