What comes next? - Representing larger numbers than break_eternity.js in a meaningful way

17

had a break_reality.js idea: basically the format builds off of break_eternity.js. we go from (sign, layer, mag) to (sign, arrows, layer, mag). when arrows is 1, behaviour is the same...

change the critical section for tetration/inverses from linear approximation to something more analytical (mostly done!)

14

two things to do: 1) handle negative heights. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetration#Linear_approximation_for_real_heights has a test case to try. 2) I also haven't tested fractional heights > 1 yet, because I didn't have a...

find operators that are stronger than pow but weaker than pentation (then implement them)

pow and tetration are 'boring' for reaching higher layers in the sense that they just count up layers one at a time past a certain point - everything devolves into...

probably because it's calling itself. see unit_tests.js test_slog_ground_truth.

handle NaN/inf and negative numbers in pow/root/log/tetrate more explicitly? (partially done)

use http://mrob.com/pub/comp/hypercalc/hypercalc.txt as a reference an interesting thingHyperCalc does is that calculations that result in a complex outcome return, whenever possible, the real component of that complex number instead of...

enforce usage of constants instead of constructing decimals on the spot?

2

pros: less object construction/destruction. cons: decimals aren't immutable, so someone could accidentally change the value of 0 and break everything. so the time/memory savings would have to outweigh the threat...

Charge (card) says 'it can't attack heroes this turn', but if you make a copy of that minion next turn, the copy also can't attack heroes while it has summoning sickness

'For example, if you cast Charge on a minion, and then the next turn use Faceless Manipulator on that minion, the copy will not be able to attack heroes.' True...
