I’ve got health bars working! Yeah!

Wow! Today was a roller coaster! I woke up hating the theme, thinking I could never make it work, pissed and moaned, finally got an idea, took back my surrender, and got (most of) a game working! In just about 12 hours! Wow!

So far, I have two Kens who fight each other. The game works like Rock ‘em Sock ‘em robots, but it’s Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Two-Guys-Fighting-Over-a-Pizza.

They can punch and kick, and both types of attack form three-hit combos. Punches go faster than kicks, but do much less damage. The two guys are recolors of one another, but that adds to the feel of the game. (Instead of a red robot and a blue robot, it’s an Asian guy in a white shirt and jeans and a white guy in a red shirt and khaki pants)

I have implemented a 2-player mode (2 people on 1 machine) and a 1-player mode (Against an AI)

I also have health bars, each labeled with a Ken’s full name.

(The fill images for the bars are not repeated, by the way: They are stretched. Only using each once, after all)

EDIT: Here’s a link to what I have so far. (Requires Python/Pygame to play)

Here’s a screenie:

Now we can see how they're doing!
