The problem:

My goal this week was to get the information displayed and working alongside all of the other components. First I wanted to get the player to have a sense of health so I added  a health bar to the UI for the player. 

I also added a button to the UI for the player to skip their turn

my main issues have been getting the win and lose condition to display correctly.  I also have been struggling with getting all of the updated and correct information for each individual piece and not the player that we are using since its really just a camera and the clicking functionality.  

The Solution:
getting the Functionality for the buttons was easy as binding the onclicked functionality to whatever function i want it to call.  but getting the information for each individual piece has proven difficult and it may just be as simple as accessing each individual piece and getting the information directly from the piece and displaying it to the ui. there were also some things in the gamemode that I needed to have edited in order for the player and pieces to all have their correct information.
