Idle games, business sims and highscores have one thing in common: They display a lot of crucial big numbers. Sometimes on their own, more often as part of a table, especially in simulation games. Using just any font will lead to headaches on how to format them in a way that is easy to understand at a glance, so let's have a look at how we can solve this problem.
Links to the documentation pages mentioned:
Standard numeric font strings: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-numeric-format-strings
Custom numeric font strings: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-numeric-format-strings
The video description won't let me add the code for displaying sprites, please see my pinned comment for that.
