change 'number' to 'range' in redesigned admin #15

Closed quinkennedy closed 12 years ago

or really, remove the casting from one type to another, and just display the type raw. if the type doesn't match Boolean, Range, or String, then we should show the type but not a custom anchor color.

Are you planning to differentiate between Ints and Floats? Or just have one number type?

Josh and James have been defining range as "a number between 0 and 1023 (inclusive)." Josh had noted that the Server currently does not force you to use only those 3 "approved" types, so maybe the admin shouldn't force that either, it will just look prettier if you use one of the 3 supported types.

or, crazy stretch goal, use an algorithm to generate the color for whatever type is specified, so any new crazy type someone comes up with (such as "Binary_butWithALisp") will get hashed to a color.

to clarify: "an integer between 0 and 1023 (inclusive)"

no more translation. all non-supported types appear with black anchor
