That is certainly easier. Usually for scores or health, you can use whole
numbers, which are easy to display as base 10. Another good trick is to
keep them as hex, which are significantly easier to display (no division).
You can do this easily with the DAA instruction. Fixed point is very easy
to do in 8.8 format.
