I Don't Like Roman Numerals For Contests

Postby JustcallmeDrago » Sun Nov 11, 2007 7:47 pm

I am having sooo much trouble trying to find the place new contests/solutions
go. In roman numerals 50 comes before 1, 10 & 5 but not before 100! My folders are in shambles :evil: !

The original Reason Contests were named ARFC_A_XVIXXCMXIIIQ_name" was to avoid AR thinking they were parts of a level set. Since all of the levels are uploaded, there can't be any spaces, so AR can't possibly recognize them as part of a level set.

I propose we just use numbers and ditch the numerals for "ARFC_A_234_omg"

I read roman numbers as well as arabic, so I don't care.

It's the only solution to the sorting problem though.

Or You could get rid of old levels (by moving them to a seperate folder) like I do.
All ARFC A contests and solutions 1st-255th: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2245
A tool to copy .lvl2 files to \Levels dir when opened: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2374

as far as i am concerned the numeral problem is mythical, i have NEVER seen it . and trust me ive been around these forums for a long time.

having numbers i just so much easyer, why make the thing you like to use less efficient so that it effects you everytime you use it just on the off chance someone might name it slightly wrong and get a small inconvenience. it just dont make sense.
