I would have to agree, unless you are using down to the single digit then why not go with /10th or even /100th of what numbers you are trying to work with? I am unfamiliar with the Dragonball theme, so maybe it is needed.

Unless you find a trick to display the numbers, i'm not sure you will have much success. I don't currently know of any of the normal LPC servers that support big numbers.

Currently though, it isn't much of a problem with Pike, as it can be compiled with bignum support. =)

I'm sure my server written in Pike (GenLPC) could be modified to work with COMPAT mode mudlibs, but right now i'm attempting to get it to have a larger measure of compatibility with Native. Compat libs will require a load of simulated efuns to maintain compatibility, something I'm not keen to work on just yet.

Though the point still remains, do you -really- need numbers that large? )
