During this chapter, we discussed NGUI's basic workflow—it works with GameObjects, uses atlases to combine multiple textures in one large texture, has an event system, can use shaders, and has a localization system.

After importing the NGUI plugin, we created our first 2D UI with the UI Wizard, reviewed its parameters, and created our own GUI 2D layer for our UI to reside on.

Finally, we analyzed the four GameObjects that were created automatically for us by NGUI. After reviewing their parameters, we can summarize their roles as follows:

We are now ready to create our first widget. It's time to move on to the next chapter.
