Scratch

Hope this is the write forum section 

Make a new sprite which is just a dot, one dot using the paint tool in the scratch painter. Now input the following scripts. (note: when I say go to x: 123 y:123 this is just what I have put, you may be different depending on where you want the bar.

[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<clear>
<go to x   -223 )y   160
<point in direction( 90
<set pen size to( 5
<set pen color to( green
<pen down>
<repeat( 50
<move( 2 )steps>
<end>
<pen up>
[/blocks]

This basically draws the health bar with full health. (note. you can change the x and y position, but don't change the number of steps unless you turly understand the script above and below).

[blocks]
<when I receive[ Lower health
<if><( <x position> <>> -222  )>
<point in direction( -90
<set pen color to( red
<pen down>
<repeat( 10
<move( 1 )steps>
<end>
<pen up>
<end>

[/blocks]

This is basically saying that when it recieves lower health it will turn around and draw some red onto it. This isn't complex and I am sure you can come up with ways to improve it and work out how to make your charater die when health reaches 0. It't not that hard. Happy scratching.
