| Nov 20, 2017 at 5:49 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | I don't think this needs another answer, but i'd point out that the purpose of a HUD is to permit an individual to get the information they need without having to look away from what they need to focus on. The term is more natural in its original setting (fighter planes) where a HUD let you see things without having to look at instrument panels, but I still feel that goal of not taking focus away from what matters is key for defining a HUD. | |

| Nov 18, 2017 at 10:41 | comment | added | kettlecrab | The answers have different assumptions about what a HUD is. DMGregory's answer assumes it is an informational static screen displayed over the game window. Bram assumes a HUD is a graphical non-interactive display. The definition needs to be included in the question. | |
