//pseudo code

function getRed takes nothing returns string
return |cffFF0000
endfunction

function getBlue takes nothing returns string
return |cff0000FF
endfunction

function draw takes integer livesLeft, integer maxLives returns string
local string showLives
local integer counter
set showLives = getRed()
set counter = 1
loop
counter = counter + 1
exitwhen counter > livesLeft
showLives = showLives + " | "
endloop

showLives = showLives + getBlue()

loop
counter = counter + 1
exitwhen counter > maxLives
showLives = showLives + " | "
endloop

endfunction

you can try that code, havent tested it myself, but the idea should be correct
