Re-valuation of our VikingPoints

[Tom Claus]

Hi fellow devs,

We want to give you a heads up on an upcoming change to the Mobile Vikings universe and subsequently, the API.

We're going to do a re-valuation of our VikingPoints.

Currently 1 VikingPoint equals € 0,10. This will be modified to 1 VikingPoint equaling € 1,00.

This should make in-your-head-calculations with VikingPoints simpler for our Vikings. 

A consequence of this, is that the VikingPoint amount will become a decimal number. Since some of your apps might rely on the fact that the amount given via the API is an integer, we're keeping the current integer fields (used_points, unused_points, waiting_points, earned_points) but divide them by 10.

New fields containing the decimal values will be available: used_points_euro, unused_points_euro, waiting_points_euro, earned_points_euro

So if before, we returned the following:

used_points: 300

unused_points: 150

waiting_points: 125

earned_points: 475

We will now return:

used_points: 30

unused_points: 15

waiting_points: 12

earned_points: 47

used_points_euro: 30.0

unused_points_euro: 15.0

waiting_points_euro: 12.5

earned_points_euro: 47.5

The values will have 4 decimals after the comma, but we suggest to display only 2 decimals to the user in your UI.

This change has gone into effect this morning.

Viking regards,

Tom Claus
