Arbitrary Length Integers

[Inverness]

We need these. Some of us on Valikorlia just realized that there would be a limit to the player.mud.gold variable. I propose only have the arbitrary length integer be used when the normal integer goes over the limit or if you append 'L' to an integer literal.

Wait. Why exactly is this needed?

Exactly what sort of stupidly long number are you storing here that you can't possibly store in some better fashion?

I don't like your tone young man.

Anyhow, this is planning for the future more like, I suppose I would have to place a limit on item stack sizes in this case and not use a variable for gold. And the stupidly long number happens to be the contents of a national treasury.

You are storing the national treasury in player.mud.gold? Yuck.

Lol, no. Mud objects are used to hold items and such, and are bound to Graal objects, the player's mud object is at player.mud. The mud object for a treasury would be bound to a database npc most likely.

Edit: Though multiple stacks doesn't help too much since you would not be able to count the total of all stacks.
