I wanted my game to have a slider bar and tried to do it myself from scratch. I couldn't find any examples where someone had made something like this (I could also suck at googling) so I figured I'd post my rough version so that people could improve upon it if they wish.

The code is still a bit of a work in progress, but all the main functionality works quite well:

• Color changes at set points to add some dynamism (points are roughly hard-coded into fifths)
• Tick marks show you where the color changes (just a little flair to make it look prettier)
• One variable is used to keep track of where to put the slider sprite on the X axis as well as how far to fill the bar (you can access this to modify stuff, for example)
• Minimum and maximum values so the slider sprite stays locked inside the bar

I took some of the mouse code from here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=43344
I removed the parts about hovering on stuff as I didn't need that.

Let me know what you think! This is my first time posting something so I hope you like it and look forward to some constructive criticism
