Summary0007019: Things can be alive with 0 health
DescriptionLots of objects and monsters are displaying a health of "0" after being hit one or more times, and yet still need one more hit to finish them. I'm guessing that this is a rounding error, and that they actually have 0.2 health or some such. At any rate, seeing "0" on something alive feels really wrong.

Thanks!

* Previously, the health bars on enemies were rounding their floating-point values to the nearest whole number. Not usually a problem... until you hit something less than 0.5. Then you have an enemy that still seems to be alive while having "zero" health.
** To fix this, we're now using a ceiling value instead, so it rounds up to the next whole number instead of just rounding to the nearest whole number. Thus if something has 0 health it's always definitely dead (or in the process of going through a death explosion like the urban crawler does).
