I would like that for number after trillion, it would say " aa then ab, ac, ad, ae... ay, az, ba, bb, bc, bd, you get the point.
Can there be an option in the settings for this notation please Ryu?

How's this trolling? I've seenthat notation usedfor other idle games.

Mylife in particular is a troll. and what he wants is really dumb notation. Name the game you've seen this in, where it's something like "1 AA"

Idle Universe, Final Fortress. Both for Android.

Specifically, 1aa is equal to E+15, 1ab = E+16, through az, then ba, bb etc
Note: not saying it's a great system, but others have used it.

I've also seen it in tap titans and a couple other games. It just wasn't 1aa = E+15, 1ab = E+16, but 1aa = E+15, 1bb = E+18 and so on i think

Ok, guess there are multiple versions, then.
I admit, the later version makes more sense.
Mybe the idea was to do away with anything beyond the one's place?

Ryu is lord, he wishes us to learn the ways of Numerics, so we may all bask in the joy of integration.

People really need to start appretiating how simple scientific notation is. You don't even need to know that 10^6 is one million, or that 10^7 is 10x more than 10^6. Having a number line from 1-100+ is intrinsically much easier to understand than EE, or novwhatthefuckdectillion.

Its exactly the same, seven is higher than six, no matter how it is named. I was happy when ryu added up to centillion, for me is a lot more natural than those ugly E+whatever.
Anyway, you can chose and have the game display whatever you like more, its not a problem.

A lot of people are not used to decimal places or base 10 counting, so I can understand when people call it ugly looking, but it becomes a god send once you start get to around the 90+ digit range.

I'm up in the 200+ digit range. It still doesnt change a whole lot for next god to kill, except to confuse outsiders.
13 octosexagintillion attack and counting.

To be fair, outsiders are already going to be a little confused by having powers of one thousand names after million instead of thousand (by that I mean, bi-llion is 1,000 million, tri-llion is 1 million million, quadrillion is 1 bi-llion million... these have been confusing since they were created, and either million should either have been the word for thousand or it should not exist and billion should have been the number that 1 million is if it is a thousand thousands.
Since literally every single power of 1,000 after is simply counting in and of itself numbers would be much more clear with that confusing shift resolved. (that is, centillion would make more sense if it was e300 rather than e303 (and your octosexagintillion would make more sense if it were e204 rather than e207) because you would multiply the prefix (octosexagintillion being 68) by 3 (the powers of thousand) to get your new power. But dagnabbit, the dual existence of thousand and million ruins an otherwise clean numbering system.
That said, I do think scientific notation is as clear as it can really get... but if the aa/ab/ac etc. example *REALLY* does make more sense to some people, it being an option would not cause me any pain (but I wouldn't be able to use it).

Please stop trolling. 1aa is not as simple and straight forward as 1E15. If you like 1aa, just use the way better version, which is "scientific notation". Yes, you can have this best version by choosing "scientific notation" in the option. BTW, the current naming system actually uses the English word for the number; yes, it is in the dictionary.
