Thanks for posting, means a lot! :) I'd be happy to know how you stumbled upon it

> CasNum (Compass and straightedge Number) is a library that implements arbitrary precision arithmetic using compass and straightedge constructions. Arbitrary precision arithmetic, now with 100% more Euclid. Featuring a functional modified Game Boy emulator where every ALU opcode is implemented entirely through geometric constructions.

Awesome :D

  F.A.Q
    Q: buT cAN iT rUn dOOm?
    A: It can't really "run" anything, its a number.
  
    Q: Is it fast?
    A: Define "fast". If you mean "faster than copying Euclid by hand", then yes, dramatically.

    Q: Why did you make this?
    A: I wanted arbitrary precision arithmetic, but I also wanted to feel something.
I can relate. Expecially the 3rd one.
