Hey All
I'm working on a game on PD. Part of which is a timer set out minutes:seconds. However, when the seconds variable is below 10 it's displaying as a single digit. So most of the time this looks right (e.g. 2:56), but at the start of each minute it looks a little unusual (0:1). I'm displaying this using [text3d].
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Andrew

[makefilename %02d] or [makefilename %.2d] pads your number with zeros so it has two digits.

Hi Frank, Nice solution. Is this behavior documented anywhere?

makefilename supports the format specifiers of the printf function in C. A nicely written overview of this lot is in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printf#printf_format_placeholders Internally Pd uses the "g" type a lot to format numbers.

..which is why Pd's floats often have less precision than float: A full-precision float is printed with the 'g' specifier when a patch is saved, then read back in with the reduced precision, so something like 1234567 will end up as 1.23e+6, or 1230000, the next time the patch is opened. Martin

Now you made it worse than it really is. Actually, it will end up as: 1.23457e+06 or 1234570. It's true though, the reformatting truncates significant digits. Actually, the only way I can think of to store 32bit-float numbers with full precision in Pd is to write to 32-bit-float soundfiles.
