Description

Task: Team 2/Team 5 Collaboration
Feature: [In-Game Tower Select and Build Menu](Part of #187)

This task ticket covers the implementation of In-Game Tower Select and Build Menu, one of the primary interaction mechanisms for players of the game. The build menu allows users to 'buy' the towers that have been selected in the TurretSelectScreen and placed on the map area for defending against alien attacks. This requires interaction with mouse input, currency service and map area functionality.

Examples of user actions this will cover

• Selecting a tower from the list of towers
• Checking for tile occupancy
• Checking for sufficient currency
• Spawning of selected towers
• Prevention of tower build if conditions are not met
• Input Handling
