title: Combat system in JQuery
body: <p>i would like to create a pretty simple combat system in JQuery, for a browser game. The idea is that i have combat statistics ( i already have that ), and i want to represent them back to the user in a nice graphical manner.</p>
  
  <p>If you have played the game shakes and fidget, you can already see what i'm asking. If not, think that two parties are fighting, visualize two images. The first party attacks, then the second, then the first again and so on..</p>
  
  <p>Ideally, each time a party attacks, i should show the damage done (probably like flashing the damage right on top of the image associated with that party). Then the health meter goes down (i actually have that bar, so it's not a problem).</p>
  
  <p>My main problem, is how to do that in like a manner that seems like the story of the battle unravels. Should it be sort of like a timer ? And then, how do i actually present flashing values in a nice manner ?</p>
  
  <p>Any related tutorials or resources on that topic would be greatly appreciated :)</p>
  
  <p>NOTE that i'm looking for code help, samples even better, that would help me in actually coding that.</p>
