I have attached a quick sample of what happens if one naively shifts the hp and xp bar over by 10 pixels, a two line change in the code. It does generally look good, but it leads to graphical glitches where the ends of the bar outside the hex get lopped off. This might be fixed with a little more sophistication , but I suspect that it would be much more than 2 lines. A long, long time ago, I had suggested horizontal hp and xp bars that the unit would kind of stand above, but people disliked them.
