The bars. They just stay like they are now. Not animated.

Hey, Jimmy, what's the answer to number two?

It'd be cool if the bars were animated when depleting.
Like the little sections would fall and move to the right slightly, and fade away.
Then sort of the opposite effect for restoration.
It'd be pretty neat.

Right! And if the Arcane Magic bar would zap out when all mana is used and then zap again when you get more mana.

As for the Health bar, I think it shouldn't explode, but crack as you are hurt, drip at the same time, and eventually drain as it breaks and you die. The Mana bar should have some sort of energy-based effect. It would look something like a Lightsaber. I like the Poison one, but it should have some sort of rotting/rusty look to it, as well. As for the Holy Mana bar, I think it was better before. The old empty bar is perfect, though.

Now the heal bar is a little different. Is it better? Edited with Photoshop.

Technically, it IS possible to make animated bars, just not with the current structure of the game code. Perhaps SDL image supports animated GIFs?

Double post!

@Woodmouse: Nah, I think you need a different idea to start your bar set off with.

The bars look pretty cool.
I had the same idea, actually, but I think that the bars themselves shouldn't have lightning and effects in them, just Icons at the Leftmost section.

Yeah, unless animation is added.
