   hud
  I recently started with directx and am digging myself into this. I regularly bump into the term HUD. So far I was not able to figure out what this exactly is? Could someone clear this up?Many Thanks!   
  Head Up Display.Basically refers to things such as scores, game related messages (e.g, Ready, Steady, Go) cockpit displays, navigation information, etc.Anything that gives the player information not a part of the world.  The HUD is usually some sort of overlay or billboard poly system and is independant of the game camera view.   ;  Ah, it is more or less the 2D content rendered at the end apart from the GUI. Thanks!
