Improve readability

Hi,

i suggest to change numbers in Quest form e.g. 10000 to 10.000 or 10k or 10.0k

that would improve readability alot

thanks for voting :D

I concur, my eyes start seeing the matrix when there are more than two 0's. :confused: :p

Great idea

Nice think. Easy reading make things easier.

+1 My eyes are shot ..I am too old!

obviously a good idea

+1

+1 clever idea.

The number 10000 can also be written 10,000 (UK and US), 10.000 (Europe mainland), 10 000 (transition metric), or 10•000 (with the dot raised to the middle of the zeroes; metric). If BB were were to use the European method as requested by the OP then UK and US would want their method used, and vice versa. Doesn't matter which method is used, there would always be similar complaints.

BB Have chosen the simple method common to all languages

Sorry but I need to point out a few facts which weaken your argument.

First we have Localisation which means different separators would be accommodated according to the primary language on that server. Secondly players not from the country the servers are based in would naturally expect to see that country native separator and not theirs.

The key issue here is we are asking for separators to increase readability, the separator it's self is irrelevant, just that it's present.

it is very simple to apply a rule based on location -- that is not realy an argument

You are wrong. In some parts of the game are already included. They need only finish the work that has begun.

10,000 is used in the game here and there. how many complaints have u received?

here's an idea. Make it universal throughout the game. ppl will find it easier to read and bb will look a tad more professional.

i suggest a comma, 10,000 any1 else on this thread object?


lol@LittleP posting same thing a few seconds b4 me!

It's just lazy work or lack of project direction. Formatting numbers is basics of coding and it's trivial to format the values based on users locale and not use a predefined one for everyone. Personally I hate the comma separator as it's used as a decimal separator here. We use digit grouping with spaces for the thousands and so on.

Flash has a built in number formatter and it's always been possible to implement such thing manually or by using some ready packages even back in 2008.
