hi everyone!
i've been coding all day long, and i came across health in my game.
i've come to this, and it just doesn't work (i did change it so i didn't have to put in the enemy stuff and all that crap)



I've tried DEC and INC aswell, but that didn't work.
It's just not working!
Thanks to anyone who can help

you need to put the part where you draw the health box in the main loop You will need to put a sync rate in to stop it flashing when you redraw it. Also the code is working but you need to clear the old health box before you draw the new one:



hope this helps

I should have changed my signature when asked

The problem is that every time you perform the 'box' command you draw a new box.
And because the first box you draw is bigger than al the other boxes you dont see a differens.
Something like this.
1.)----------
2.)--------
If you first draw number 1 and then number 2 above number 1 then you woudend see i differens.

I hope this helps.
