  • break_infinity.js

    A replacement for decimal.js for incremental games who want to deal with very large numbers (bigger in magnitude than 1e308, up to as much as 1e(9e15) ) and want to prioritize speed over accuracy.

  • break_eternity.js

    A Javascript numerical library to represent numbers as large as 10^^1e308 and as small as 10^-10^^1e308. Sequel to break_infinity.js, designed for incremental games.
