im not sure what forum this should be in so i put it in random.

what im lookin for is a hit counter that displays hits in roman numerals… i dont know if there is a website that would have this or if there is some way to code this in flash or some other thing i dont know how to use… but if anyone knows of anything id appreciate it

thanks

YEah yeah… Chill man…

For starters… You can do a counter in roman numerals… Now… Why you’d want that is beyond me… But… If you give me a list of roman numerals again… I totally forget… Don’t they go…

X - 10
V - 5
I - 1
II - 2
III - 3
VI - 4
And so on and so forth… If you give me like… 100 which I forget… And 1000… 10,000… 100,000… Blah blah blah…

C - 100 ??

Your right on all of them except 4. 4 is IV the I has to come before the V or else it would be 6, which you have it as.

DOLP!

lmao

I screw up one of the easy ones… :slight_smile:

umm yeah i have really have no clue what the numerals are past like 49… but ill go look them up real quick… hang on

hangin on?

gooooooooooooood

50 is L
100 is C
500 is D
1000 is M
5000 is V

thats as far as i can figure out

so yeah its like year MMIII right now… i think… so if someone wants to make me one that would be tremendous

found more

V is 500 actually
X is 10,000
L is 50,000
C is 100,000
D is 500,000
M is 1,000,000

i think thats about it

i think the underline means its the normal numer times 1000…

[example… more for me that u…]
V is 5
5 times 1000 is 5000
5000 is V
yeaaaaah… i think thats how its done

Why do you need to have the counter displayed in roman numerals? Its not really that practical since:

  1. Not many people know all of the roman numerals so not that many people will understand the function.

  2. You would have to make an array for each of the symbols and then some functions to test what the value is and to plug the right roman numerals in…

The whole idea really isn’t worth the effort.

11

cuz its puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurdy
and if ppl dont know the roman numerals they can go look them up like i did… and they probably wont even realize its a counter anyways… so its all good

12

Seems someone has a roman numerals fetish :wink:

But a counter in roman numerals could be difficult because when you get to higher numbers don’t the symbols change. Like the way it is read is different or something. Not sure.

STRONGBAD IS COOL! HOMESTAR IS BETTER!!! MARCYPENNY SUX! :*(

14

thanks… thank u mike that helps… at least lost in betas post was semi-constructive… wee im bein cylindrical or cynical or something… maybe cuz im all pissy… anywho… does anyone know how to make one yet?

15

Yeah you were being cynical.

I still think the counter is a bit too advanced (at least for me)

I mean, think about it…

9 = IX
but 91 = XCI and not IXI

So you will have to have some way of detecting and calculating and converting the math from regular numbers to roman numerals. You can’t just convert a number to a roman numeral and use that numeral whenever a number is used.

16

I doubt this will help, but I took a script from javascript.internet.com and converted it to AS form and created a Number to Roman Numeral converter script.

You can take a look at it if you want. It MIGHT help.

17

thats awesome lost… but i know nothing about actionscript… so yeah i dont have a clue what to do but if someone is good at actionscript maybe they could whip somethin up using that? i dunno

18

we aren’t here to make things for people. We are here to assist.

19

oh… well i kinda have no clue… so if someonen wants to highly assist me that would be cool… ill make it i just need to know some stuff… so yeah, ill make it
dont hate the new guy

Well with the script I gave you you could target a variable instead of a textbox. And that variable will be where you store your page hits (through PHP)

But it still has the problem of only going up to 3999 :-\
