More Zombies

So I've gone ahead and made a few changes. I think I've finalized the HUD. Now the question is, which version is better? I didn't do much, I just flipped the enter screen on the horizontal... but there's a definate difference.

Now the question is... if this was a game, which side would you rather have the HUD on?





Funny how much that makes a difference. But hey, in design sometimes a few pixels makes a difference.

I'd say game on left, guns on right, gun icons pointing right.


Which frankly sounds ridiculous, since the gun icons should be pointing at the bad guys not offscreen, so...

Yeah, Just ignore me and put gun icons on the left like the first shot.

you know, it's weird. i have to ask about HUD alignment because on most websites, the menus are on the left, but for games it's on the right.

it's on the left for websites because of the western world's left-to-right reading pattern, but for games i think it's really abou having the mouse on the right side of the laptop.

weird huh?

That makes sense!
