Hi guys,

How do I represent a life bar of an enemy with lets say 652 HP with a life bar of only 10 heart icons?

?????????? = 652 HP

I was trying out some different ideas on paper but this really stumped me.

65.2 hp per heart. You could use a tiled background and set the size to (hp/65.2*[heartwidth]), and then round up to the heartwidth.

Edit: To round up to 16: width = int(Sprite.HP/65.2)*16

To change the amount to round to you can change the multiplier, e.g. for half hearts, use int(Sprite.HP/65.2*2)*8.

WOW thanks Sumyjkl! That is a great idea to use the tiling bg for the bar. I have only ventured out into using it as terrain. Thanks again!
