Segmented progress bars (for health, research, etc.) #143

What do you want to see? Megaman style segmented progress bars for health, research, etc. They would be made up of a certain number of segments with gaps in between them.

How would it help players? This would make it easier to gauge at a glance how filled up a progress bar is.

Alternatives Numbers? Well we already have those...

Screenshots and mockups See classic Megaman games!

Things to consider Will need to decide how big the segments will be - we're dealing with a lot more than 28 HP here!

What of partial segments? Or should the values be rounded up/down/off?

Giving everything ten segments seems reasonable, then you could get quick estimates to the nearest 10%.

To this we could add a color gradient, perhaps.
