Improve readability

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

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

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.
