    Boss health bar depletion

    Hi, I have created a boss health bar for my game, I can make the numbers reduce when it takes damage, but I do not know how
    to make the bar it's self string. A visual example of what I mean is here:

    boss full hp

    Code:
    BOSS 100%[**********]  // can take 10 hits
    now player hits boss 5 times

    Code:
    BOSS 50%[*****     ]   // depelete visual bar and number
    All I am trying to do is make the visual bar deplete., like in metroid prime!! (cool game!) If any one knows of a way to do this or any tutorials I cant find would be greatful! thankx

    Code:
    float GetHealthCoef(float Max,float Cur)
    {
      return Cur/Max;
    }
    
    void DrawHealthBar(int x,int y,int maxlength,float health,float maxhealth)
    {
      float coef=GetHealthCoef(health,maxhealth);
    
      int x2=x+maxlength;
      int barlength=x+coef*(x2-x);
    
      for (int i=x;i<barlength;i++)
      {
         //Draw health graphic at i,y
      }
    }
