Base-X
BCTurk:
I'm starting to make a program that would let you do arithmetic in a different base then base 10. (For example, you could do calculation in any base from 2 (Binary) to 16 (Hexadecimal). Is anyone interested in this kind of thing? I'm only wondering because I just want to know if I should make it user-friendly or not, as it is really a training for a larger project that I'm not going to disclose atm. Don't worry, I'm still working on my other projects, but PIRATES! is stalled/slowly moving until xLIB 0.6 is released. The BASIC RPG is more of a in math-class thing to code, and this won't take too long.
So, anyone interested?
EDIT: Name of prog is now Base-X, because you can change base...

If you make it, only make is 2,4,6,8,10,12,16,18, and 20 that way it'll have a nice range, but odd bases are harder to work with
BCTurk:
Oh, I dunno, my method works for all bases 2-10. I'm working on one that does 11-16 (17-20 seems unuseble for any application).
Liazon:
include a binary to hex quick look up table. 4 binary digits equals one hex letter, and such a look up table would be useful.
MathStuf:
Well, converting between bases usually is more taxing than just going with base 10 to begin wtih (for calcs at least). I do have some base manipulation programs (2-36, operations with diff bases, times table maker for bases 2-36 (takes forever after ~base 12 though)).
