Ha hah! I always wondered, starting out with gamestudio, why they use vars instead of the standard floats, ints, doubles, etc. Now that they've switched to Lite-C there really is no excuse holding on to these old nonstandard types.

var is just fine for most uses... as long as you don't work on a hex base where you need the whole bandwidth of a datatype.

When you've got floats, vars are pointless.

pretty much.
