Pizza Tower-inspired Combo Meter (and rankings) - "Egg-Combo Display"

Baba_theBooey

patently stupid™
This is gonna be (hopefully) a mod that for the most part adds in the combo meter from Pizza Tower, albeit stylized into SRB2 in the form of one of Eggman's inventions.

Put simply, it will work how you'd expect:
- Destroying Badniks, breaking Monitors, breaking walls and other big events will grant 100% to the bar and add to your combo, while collecting Rings will only add around 15% or 20% to the meter.
- Getting hit will deduct 30% of your meter.
- Every 10x combo or losing the combo will show a wacky subtitle depending on your combo, and the latter will add your combo times 150 to your score.

Ranks will be dependent entirely on your score for that level, which I will get to later.
- Below 1000 could be D
- 1000 to 5000 is a C
- 5000 to 10,000 is a B
- 10,000 to 50,000 is an A
- 50,000 and onwards is an S
- P-Ranks will not only require an S-rank score, but also that you never once lose your combo at any point in the level. Dying will not reset this, and will only reset your meter, so you at least are given *some* leeway.

To make getting the ranks more of a challenge, any rank above C will make you lose 10 points per second, and A/S will deduct 20 per second. Better act fast!

Big problem for me: I do not know how to code in Lua, and even if I did, I don't have access to SLADE. That's why I need someone's help with making everything work, while I do what I've already been doing and make sprites. Attached is a proof of concept image, along with a .zip containing all the frames and layers. Or not; .zips can't be sent. I'm new ;-; Anyone who wants to help, who can help, offer in this thread and I'll send you my discord username to friend me.

I can TRY to learn Lua coding. I already got a bit of map making skill, Lua cant be that hard... right?
 
Aww, this seems like an achual good addon I would download! I know nothing about Lua, but I just wanted to put my opinion here!
