FAQ

Q: The demo won't open, how to open it?

A: You need RPG Maker XP

Q: Who should i credit?

A: Me, astrobunny.

Q: Can I use my own number image?

A: Yes! You have to make it so all the numbers occupy the same sized rectangle in the image. Basically, divide your image into 10 equally spaced parts, and place each of your numbers in each part. You should also make your background transparent in your PNG. You must also name it nums.png

Have a look at these images I made for you that can also be used! Use the following images as a reference. Feel free to use them or modify them to your liking!

Q: How do I change where the number is positioned?

A: Look at the [first part of the code] and then find @nums.x = 30 and @nums.y = 30, change these numbers. @nums.x is the number of pixels away from the left of the window and @nums.y is the number of pixels down from the top of the window of the leftmost number.

Q: How many digits maximum?

A: Look at the [first part of the code] and find @nums_max_digits = 6. You can change this number to any number of digits you wish.
