Hello all

I have a game with the player having a number of lives. I can display the lives as a text but would like to display the number of lives with images. If the player has three lives then three hearts are displayed, two lives displays two hearts , and 1 life displays 1 heart.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

You can use a sprite - first frame contains one heart, second frame contains two hearts etc. Set the sprite frame to the number of player's lives.

Or you can use a TiledBackground with a single heart. Changing its width will change the number of hearts visible.
