Nearly a complete redo of the Smacculator, but 1/4 the size with new features.

Enjoy...or don't. It is in a zip file, 16kb, unzipped it is about 140k. I made it in visual basic, if you want the forms and code for an example or to modify in some way just pm me.

To get past the splash screen click it or press any key.

being unfamiliar with it.. um.. what's it do?

It is a merchant's tool. It displays items and their smacc prices, allows you to change the prices, and how many items you are selling. It also automatically translates gold into ingots as well.

And what happens, when the SMACC Council change the prices?

Do you will update the program then?

If not, the name SMACCcalculator, would be a little bit incorrect.

Society of Merchants and Cost Control

You should rewrite your calculator so SMACC prices aren't hardcoded, but contained in an external file that can be updated if prices are changed.

thanks Adano
by the way Gro... a very small bug (if you might call it a bug because i dont think it is) ... its rather a small problem that can be fixed to make the program more standard and user-friendly.
when i click on "Clear Values" , the "Number of Items" textbox is cleared of all numbers, and that makes it quite ... hum... well ... you should make the default number 1 ... or 0 at least, and the default number of "Add Value" 0 obviously... it would just make it more user-friendly see what i mean? but anyway its cool ... nice job

by the way .. for who wants to see a small game i did myself last year (for a school assignment) with Visual Basic 6, its downloadable at http://www.ganni.cjb.net in the downloads section (choose from the menu on the left)

IMPORTANT: if you download the game, (after unzipping the file) cut and paste the text document in C:
