App and Offsite Resource Programers: Can someone make an animal calculator?

I'm not even vaguely a programmer, so I don't really know how this would be done, but could someone make a calculator thingy for determining the max number of all animals you can put on your street?

I know that there are cards to increase the number, and that your AK level may have an effect, and how expanded your street is makes a difference too, but if you made slots for these variable to be input, I think it could work. (I'm not sure the API covers this stuff?)
I'd love to load my street with the max it can hold for my visitors, but I don't know what combo of pigs, chickens and butterflies will fit.

Edit: Nevermind.
It seems staff doesn't want us to figure this out or something, and I'm sick of people in global treating me like I'm a fracking moron for suggesting that we could work it out and make a calculator.
Please, nobody take the time to make a survey people can fill out about how many animals they have, what upgrades they have, etc. That would clearly be too much trouble, and we all just LOVE having to release animals due to not knowing when crowding is going to kick in.

  • Cool idea - the biggest key though is street / yard size, and I don't think it can be read from the API. If the site asked you to simply enter your "next expansion cost" it is likely doable.

  • Is the street size:animal limit ratio even exactly known? I mean the limit at this point is guesswork. People mostly think it's 40 piggies after the upgrade cards and full expansions, but I have 41 pigs and I seen someone with 43. Not sure what the limit really is before pigs start blowing up.

  • Yeah, the first task would be to collect the underlying numbers. I think the "programming" would be trivial at that point (i.e., Excel spreadsheet).

  • Be even easier if a staff member could just tell us the formula for how the limit is calculated for pigs, chickens, and butterflies. I doubt they would, though. I'm assuming that the limit is calculated based on how many 'planks' from one end of the street to the other, or whatever variable they use to tell the game how wide a street is (probably tied into the same limit that prevents your camera from moving any further at the ends).
