Ok, this is basically a nit but it drives me crazy from time to time, and this is one of those times. Pardon the ranting. (You have been warned.)
My studio has three energy trophies. At reset, my energy counter reads 160/160. Meaning I have 160 energy left of the 160 that I have for the day.
I burn all that energy, and pay notes for a refill. My energy counter reads 50/160. Bollocks! It should read 50/210.
If I then use an achievement reward that gives me 29 energy, it reads 79/160. Rubbish! It should read 79/239.
Why are trophies treated specially? If you are going to ignore energy rewards, you should ignore trophies, too! Everybody's energy limit should be set to 100 and you can turn an entire variable into a constant!! You could save 64 whole bits per player! There's nothing wrong with starting the day at 160/100 energy, after all.
Gee, just think, that 'have i used one refill or two?" question could actually be answered with accurate information!! Is it THAT hard to add energy rewards and refills to the 'energy available today' counter?
