Summary:

The HUD DLL is an extensible heads up display for XNA platform games that can be used for any type of single player game. Self contained, users merely add the DLL, a couple of references, some method calls and the HUD appears on the screen, ready to go. Of course, you will still need to change the graphics, the text, and build in math for things like the health bar but this system is easily integrated into any XNA game of any type.
