Since starting this game, I've been frustrated by the way the information about the coin and supply amounts are shown in the popup. Showing the current amounts in the bar with the background shading showing its fullness is great. But the popup showing "Total: Current/Maximum" doesn't allow the numbers to be easily compared. I found myself counting the number of zeros while squinting. Then I'd try and estimate how much I could actually put in. Yuck. Not much fun. So, I mulled the idea over and over until finally, as Gru would say in "Despicable Me", light bulb. The answer was to the left of the city name on the screen. Look at the population and culture popups. There is was, already coded. It just needs to be used for the two storage containers. How much more useful would this be?
Coin Storage
Maximum: 10400000
Current: 6122419
Available: 4277581
Supplies Storage
Maximum: 1040000
Current: 384847
Available: 655153
All three pieces of information is now there and much easier to compare.
Since the code for this already exists just needs to be reused for these two sets of values, it seems like this would be very easy to implement.
