Nice looking hearts, though it's a bit hard to differentiate between half, quarter, and three-quarter hearts since the hearts are so small.

On a serious note, why not release this stuff as a tutorial and teach people *how* to do it, rather than just giving it to them, so that we can start getting some quality in projects?

Post by: Hammer Bro. Mike on June 02, 2008, 12:12:58 am: I like the style of these hearts. I'm sure you could tell a 1/4, 1/2, or a 3/4 of a heart even if it was full screen. I'd have to see it to believe it. Is this the only style for the heart? Like in OoT, you have normal hearts and then get the extra defense with the white around it. Whatever, you can change the style of the hearts though, right?

Post by: Scooternew on June 02, 2008, 12:16:51 am: Actually, the first post states that you can press spacebar and add the white border around the hearts for the "extra defense." Try it out in the demo.
