Basically - I have a health bar of sorts, which has a circular shape so I can't really use the scroll/blockscroll functions (eg I need to mask it)

So what I'd like to be able to is blit part of the health bar (varying the height).

Easiest way I can think of is to create 48 copies of the shape at different heights (as it's 48 pixels tall), but that sounds like an absurd waste of memory!

(Though I don't think my memory usage is high right now, so maybe I could get away with it)
