Imzogelmo's Propsal for FF1 character data template

// num is the number in question
// place is the name for the digit you want, 1, 10, 100, etc. A well-formed place will be an integral power of 10, but let's not count on that

int get_digit (int num, int place)
{
if (place < 0)
// choke and die with nasty error
else if ( place < 10) return num% 10;
else return get_digit((int) num / 10, (int) place / 10);
}

// if you can guarantee that the number requested is 'well-formed'...

int get_digit(int num, int place)
{
return ((int) num / place) % 10;
}

// maybe you're expecting places named 0, 1, 2,... instead of 1, 10, 100...
int get_digit(int num, int place)
{
return ((int) num / pow(10, place)) % 10;
}

Ahh. That's what I had! ..I could probably do one with exp10, log or something.. but I think this version is the best.

Anyhoo, what I was hinting to was; why not just treat MP like most rpg's do: Just a MaxMP and MP variable (with some maths for FF1). (That way I don't have to hack anything fancy in also.lol) :lazy:
