All are visible unless a GameScreen draws over the one under it. All of them are active all the time, they are just layered. So the game would draw on one screen, and the HUD would draw "on top" of it in another screen. In the case of the space innovaders example, there is only one game screen, but more complex games would need more. The GameScreens “stack” on top of one another.

If i understand correctly (maby not :) ) whatever gamescreen is on top is what is run (and its associated components). Therefore if the hud was a gamescreen then it would be the only thing that was shown on the screen. Well i guess unless you continously pushed and popped the screens on and off the engine? Hm. Well this is all new to me, anyone else got any other thoughts?
