Scores above 10 million start to crack up as all floats are of the type Single. Right now I'm using 2 variables as a solution, one holding the number of millions you've scored and another for the digits up to a million. But doubles would be nice .. or Int64

Low priority though.

Using double creates a larger executable 1kb more I think. Plus, do you need 1Milion with 1 point "resolution"? Pheraps you could use smaller number then use the multiplier when displaying.

Salve Francesco,

Yea, that's what I tried at first as well. The multiplier however actually multiplies the value ( makes sense ), so you end up with a float that exceeds the precision of a single again. Using doubles doesn't make the executable any bigger afaik .. it's one of the base types supported by Delphi, it just uses double the memory compared to a single. Anyway, it's no big deal .. the 2 variable solution works, which is good enough

Although the original argument is no longer valid ( intToStr ) .. calculating and passing entire texture matrices to shaders is a bit cumbersome. Full matrix + pointer support would obviously be the ideal solution, but being able to call glFrustum / glOrtho would be a huge help.

Along with other uses obviously ( Game Maker Extensions ).
