Health bars / Progress bars

detour

I needed health bars for my game so I made a simple library. Figured I'd share:

Thank you very much for sharing with us @detour.

Hey, thanks for sharing @detour

Hope someone finds it useful. Comments, suggestions, feature requests are welcome.

Off-topic: I made this a question rather than a discussion by mistake, can a mod fix this?

Forum doesnt allow it, however feel relaxed with such things (not an issue)

wow, where were you couple of days ago. I just recently finished creating my own and wanted to publish it today

Here's an example of mine: https://github.com/ar2rsawseen/Progressbar
Additionally it has text and bar can be Gtween animated

Wow... all I did was display a rectangle and change it's xScale on every frame. This appears to be much better at a glance.

@ar2sawseen Wow yours looks much further along than mine. Nice work! I wanted to support gtweening but admittedly I'm just starting out with Gideros and decided to keep it simple. I was actually just checking out AceSlider, you've got lots of really useful code. I might even end up using yours

@joelghill Thanks! Yea I just wanted something simple and re-useable. Hope you find it useful.

@OZApps I considered that, wasn't sure it would work. I guess it would have! Is that code available? I only see the video.

@ detour thank you for sharing your code...
but do you know the code that when you click a button then the health bar increase to one. Like a score health bar,that after clicking the button the health bar increase until it reach to 100 % after clicking 100 times.

@Gracille hey, sorry I missed this. Sounds like you want to use DT_Healthbar as a progress bar. It will work the same way, just bind a click event to a button that calls add(). Here's some quick and dirty pseudo-code:

progress_bar = DT_Healthbar({ -- your options here max_value = 100 -- this bar is considered full if it has 100 points added to it })   -- click this 100 times and the health bar will be full add_button:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_DOWN, function() progress_bar:add(1) end)

@detour thanks for the info...

ok,I will test it in our Thesis game

@Gracille this is probably obvious but I thought I should mention that the bars start out full by default. You should call

progress_bar:empty()

to make the bar appear empty before you start adding to it.
