Title: Attack/Defense #'s in Shop Menu?
Post by: justin3009 on April 10, 2009, 03:58:14 pm

I just noticed something, the numbers in the shop menu seem to have like a little VWF routine thing of their own.  From what I've been exploring in the coding though, it's COMPLETELY different on how it's done.

How viable would it be to possible route this little routine to all things in any given menu and maybe modify it to have a little more width on the numbers?

I haven't looked at the code, but that still looks like fixed width to me.  Variable width involves a table look-up; fixed uses a static value (not no value).  The US main font is variable, using different values for each letter.  The Japanese main font is fixed, using a value of B for all characters.
