Implementation Details

The LabWindow class is a custom graphical user interface (GUI) window in a game, extending the LibGDX Window class. Its constructor configures the window's appearance and layout, initialising UI components, including potion buttons and an exit button, each styled using a provided Skin. Four potion buttons, labeled and associated with potion images, are added in a Table layout. Event listeners on these buttons trigger the failLaboratory() method when clicked. An InputOverrideComponent is employed to override user input while the laboratory window is open. TheLabWindowclass also includes the remove() method, unregisters the input override component, ensuring that normal user input is restored when the window is removed.
