Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @8bitcn/enemy-health-display

Requires @8bitcn in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).

Usage

usage.tsx
import EnemyHealthDisplay from "@/components/ui/8bit/enemy-health-display";<EnemyHealthDisplay enemyName="Goblin" level={3} currentHealth={42} maxHealth={60} />
  • Show an enemy’s current health and identity in a game HUD or battle screen.
  • Display a compact enemy health bar alongside a name and optional level.
  • Use the retro variant when a pixel-art or 8-bit visual style fits the interface.
  • Use the default bar variant when a continuous health fill is preferable to segmented pixels.

Examples

Default retro display

Show the name, level, health fraction, and retro percentage overlay.

default-retro-display.tsx
import EnemyHealthDisplay from "@/components/ui/8bit/enemy-health-display";<EnemyHealthDisplay enemyName="Goblin Scout" level={3} currentHealth={42} maxHealth={60} />

Continuous health bar

Use the default bar style and hide the level and health fraction.

continuous-health-bar.tsx
import EnemyHealthDisplay from "@/components/ui/8bit/enemy-health-display";<EnemyHealthDisplay enemyName="Stone Golem" currentHealth={120} maxHealth={200} healthBarVariant="default" showLevel={false} showHealthText={false} />

Larger text with a custom name color

Use large text and set a custom Tailwind text color for the enemy name.

larger-text-with-a-custom-name-color.tsx
import EnemyHealthDisplay from "@/components/ui/8bit/enemy-health-display";<EnemyHealthDisplay enemyName="Ancient Dragon" level={25} currentHealth={875} maxHealth={1000} size="lg" textColor="orange" enemyNameColor="text-amber-300" />

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
enemyNamestring—Required enemy name displayed in bold.
currentHealthnumber—Required current health value. The displayed bar percentage is calculated from this and maxHealth, then clamped between 0 and 100.
maxHealthnumber—Required maximum health value, used to calculate the bar percentage and health fraction.
levelnumber—Optional level shown as “Lv.{level}” when showLevel is true and level is truthy. A value of 0 is not displayed.
showLevelbooleantrueWhether to show the level label.
showHealthTextbooleantrueWhether to show the current/max health fraction.
variant"default" | "retro""retro"Text/display style variant. The retro option applies the retro CSS class.
size"sm" | "md" | "lg""md"Text size variant: xs, sm, or base text sizing, respectively.
textColor"red" | "orange" | "yellow" | "green" | "blue" | "purple""red"Tailwind text color variant applied to the display wrapper.
healthBarVariant"retro" | "default""retro"Selects the segmented retro bar or continuous default bar. The percentage overlay is shown only for the retro variant.
healthBarColorstring"bg-red-500"The source passes this value as a nested props object to HealthBar, but HealthBar does not forward that nested value to Progress. The bar fill therefore remains the hard-coded red unless the underlying source is changed.
enemyNameColorstring"text-foreground"Class name applied to the enemy name span; accepts a string such as a Tailwind text color class.
classNamestring—Optional class name merged onto the outer div.
Native div propsReact.ComponentProps<"div">—The component accepts standard div props, which are spread onto the outer wrapper.

Accessibility

  • The outer element is a div and the component does not add a heading, label, or other semantic grouping by itself.
  • The health bar is built with Radix Progress and receives the calculated value, but the component does not provide a specific accessible name for the progress indicator.
  • The health fraction is visible text by default; if showHealthText is disabled, the numeric current/max values are no longer shown as text.
  • The retro percentage is text over the bar, but do not rely on color alone to communicate health status.
  • Use the surrounding interface to provide an accessible name or context for the enemy’s health when needed.
