Thanks to thenumbernine for their bignumber library, which I adapted as the basis for this mod.
allows for the blind amount and chips scored to exceed the game's current maximum of the 64 bit double maximum value (~1.7e308)
The ante continues to scale exponentially, and can theoretically continue on forever.
also includes a challenge that starts at ante 39 and a build that can score past the previous score cap, as an illustration of the mod's functionality.
As can be seen in the previous screenshot, the visual scaling for both the ante and the mult and chips is pretty broken as I did not have a perfect understanding of how it worked so just left it as-is.
it is quite possible that things will break if you exit out of a game and try to enter again, as the change in datatype required a major rehaul of the saving and loading functions for blind information.
The bignumber library is very unstable and prone to breaking, especially with larger numbers (>e5000). There are likely a myriad of bugs that I have not caught in testing. Feel free to post an issue describing the bug and I will hopefully address it in a subsequent release.
