Cool! Do you mind if I use that system of typing into the variable box? Cool user icon, by the way.
sweet
that is amazing
i dont get that counting system but its cool
musicman, is easy to find out how it works by reading this two Wikipedia articles : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_conversion">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_conversion , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_numerals">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_numerals .

In elementary school in Mexico we learned Mayan numerals along with binary. Brings back good memories :)
Those Mayans were pretty sharp!
Oh, sorry, I didn't realize it was a positional system, I thought it was more like Roman numerals. My mistake! Cool project.
Yes, it is just a vigesimal system. The symbols : shell=0, dot=1, bar=5. One or more symbols makes a digit. One or more digits makes a number. In the number the digits are written from the top down. 100=5*20^1+0*20^0, so 1 bar over 1 shell. 101=5*20^1+1*20^0, so 1 bar over 1 dot. I tested it using http://www.michielb.nl/maya/math.html .
Very interesting! I'm going to have to study this to figure out how they handled larger numbers; it is not clear to me...Ah! I'm beginning to see - multiples of 20 it looks like. I think you might have an error. When I put in 100, I get 20 x 5. But when I put in 101 the base of 20 goes away and is replaced by 1, giving a result of 1 x 5? Maybe I'm messing up the rules.
Cool!
