Use left/right mouse buttons to change health amount.





Here's a new version with a little animation to show chunks of the health bar cut away. Not my most modular code ever, but shows a nice example I think. MOUSE buttons to grow/shrink health bar, press SPACE to cut away a chunk.

V.2

Well, being curious about the above, I opened up my v10811 AppGameKit IDE and copied the code.

First, it is missing the argb and getColor functions.

Next, as I suspected, you cannot 'return' a call to another function.

After that, it ran and is cool. But the buttons don't do anything.

Is the bar supposed to follow the mouse around?

Really?

I actually finally spotted where the bar was supposed to follow the mouse.

But I couldn't get it to change with my arrow keys.

And I had to add the two functions from Phaelax's other thread and edit one so that it stored the argb value locally and returned it before I could get it to compile without errors.

Oops, I'm not sure how I didn't copy the entire snippet over. Fixed the snippet above.

It's not suppose to, I never said anything about arrow keys, use the MOUSE buttons! And yes, it is suppose to follow the mouse.

I added a new snippet above with a neat little update.

My bad. Somehow I interpreted it as using the keyboard (left/right).

Sorry.

Works great!

Hi Phaelax,
Can I use this code in my commercial project?

Yea sure. But you'd probably get better performance using images.
