Okay this question been on my mind for a while, How do you make a HUD(Heads Up Display)? I've seen it in alot of games. If theres a Demo, Libary or a tutorial on it could you please post the link(s)? Thanks

Currently, it involves setting an image or obj location to the client's screen (http://developer.byond.com/docs/ref/info.html#/client/var/ screen), and then adjusting its screen_loc var (http://developer.byond.com/docs/ref/info.html#/atom/movable/ var/screen_loc).

Theres some real nice improvements to Dream Seeker coming with BYOND 4 that will redefine how people do HUDs, so I wouldn't really work too hard on any HUD stuff unless you are looking for an immediate release.

4.0 is actually a lot closer than you think, we're already actively testing it and getting it prepared for public testing and release.

As for your question I wrote a demo some time back. hub://Nadrew.NadrewsHudDemo
