What you will be able to do

Use a Canvas Scaler for different screen sizes.
Pool or reuse UI elements instead of instantiating every frame.
Separate audio data from the gameplay rule that triggers it.

In plain English

Use Canvas for screen-space UI, keep labels readable at different resolutions and update text from a small presenter script. Audio should confirm actions without masking important sounds. Add a mute control and respect reduced audio preferences.

ScorePresenter.csC#

using TMPro;
using UnityEngine;

public class ScorePresenter : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private TMP_Text label;
    [SerializeField] private AudioSource pickupSound;

    public void ShowScore(int score)
    {
        label.text = "Score: " + score;
        pickupSound.Play();
    }
}

Your turn

Present a score change

Medium
