Due to some issues with getting the UI to display the hearts, here's a brief, but better explanation than what I stumbled over in the video:
Player starts with 3 health, but max health is capped at 5.
Health pickups properly restore missing health but do NOT increase max health.
The UI now correctly updates to show extra hearts when healing up to 5.
Score items increase the player’s score, which is dynamically updated in the UI.
All systems now work smoothly together—health, UI, and score tracking!
