Very Possible. Just have a health sprite that you can stretch for health. If health<whatever then load in 2 new sprites and just switch between them for a flashing effect.

Of course you can do this. DarkBASIC is really very flexible. Just update the image you are using for the health portion of your HUD, if you want it to flash when beneath a certain health level then you could use a subroutine like this (this would also work as part of a function to display your HUD) :

easier way. just draw a line from two points
eg

from 0-100 = full health (green bar)
from 0-75 = less heath (orange bar)
from 0-50 = low health (yellow bar)
from 0-10 = critical (red bar)

and no external media
