.:Instructions and FAQ:.
Q: I can not open the demo!
A: Download winrar. Google it.
Q: What scripts do I need?
A: You'll need the SDK 2.0 or higher if you don't have it. You'll need the main ABS script and you'll need the Input script. If you want to use the HUD or the Enemy HP Bars you'll need the Gradient bars by Trickster.

A: Call this: $scene.hud_hide to hide and $scene.hud_show to show.
