    I just figured out how to make a refillable health bar!!!!!!! Tutorial coming soon :)
    Make sure you fullscreen the video to see the little green healthbar on the bottom left.

    Thanks! @brakewind723 This technique (testing it now) also works with numbers. When the health bar runs out, the game ends!

    @heathclose @nayamamarshe I'm glad you like! Each character will have multiple death animations (even a few hidden gems)

    Well 2.21 just released and it seemed to fix a lot of things that were broken. But after working with the health tutorial I found a few caveats that need to be addressed.

    I think the health bar is better used as a visual confirmation of Health vs a resource that can be refilled. Stay tuned for more details

    Upgrade again... 2.2.2

    Edit: never mind, I haven't been home to upgrade yet but I thought there was also 2.2.2 put out, but I think I'm just making that up...

    Hey guys to help Vectology out, refilling numerals is just the matter of negative and positive integers in the coin and point properties of an action. Combining that with an event observer should do the trick. Lets wait on the actual health bar though!

    I would like to play a game! The first person to replicate what I did in my video will get a one animated character (basic states) or a free icon.
