Just thought this would be a good idea, a conversion program for converting stuff like the pound into dollars, or imperial to metric, miles to kilometres, farenheit to celsius etc..

Have no idea how difficult it would be, just a thought since I'm having trouble working stuff out in the US.
 
If you point me to an internet site that lists all these conversions (and I don`t want to click back and forth or search, so don`t point me to wikipedia), I`ll see what I can do...
 
Heres a few on Google: http://www.conversiontables.info/

http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Metrics/factors.htm

http://www.cruising.ca/cruising/docs/sconver.html

http://www.srh.noaa.gov/bmx/tables/speed.html

Second one is just a big page with formulas in it - so should be easier to look at.

As for currency that changes, just putting a standard rate into a text file would work ok. So if for example the pound loses value against the dollar or euro rises then you can change the value in the text file.

Anyway its just an idea, if you follow up on this then props to you :D
 
Okay, I`ll see what I can do, but don`t expect anything in the next two weeks, as I have exams next week, and a week after that I want to release a new MGP version :D
