This may just be the new best calculator known to mankind, with it containing impressive abilities, like calculating sums up to 100, and also having wonderful graphics this masterpiece will most definitely strike fear into mathematicians hearts.

aka: This is only for comedic purposes, it is not offensive (hopefully) and I believe that it adheres with all of the rules.

I Made the best calculator ever!!
Its a pretty simple design, in a website, you have to manually type in and delete the numbers, it only works for addition and numbers between -100 and 100.

I learnt that, things don’t have to look good to be good, and slop sometimes took a long time to make.

I made it look terribl- i mean wonderful for a reason ofc!!!

I hope you all ENJOY!!!!

Man, I nearly died out there, I had to fight like 20 different lv 100 bugs bro.

First thing I noticed: the calculator was technically working, but the “anger meter max” was anticlimactic. You’d hit 100 and… nothing. I literally friggen crashed out about it then I just locked in and solved the issue, (i most definitely did not write it into the wrong document…)

Then there was another bug, as i tried to squash it, it looked like it started to work, but the features were missing. But I realised I forgot to take my meds, and it was just a display issue (short story long, it worked, but the achievements were not shown until you unlocked them)

So I added a counter like x/y found. That way achievements stay hidden (no spoilers), but you still get that little completion tracker that makes you chase them.

There was another CAPTCHA feature that didn’t work (not gonna tell you what i fixed in it because it ruins the mystery of the demented calculator) But practically, i made it less strict.

Finally: the GitHub push. Push initially got rejected because the remote had newer commits, so I stashed the extra local junk, then pushed cleanly. lowk scared me

PLEASE all I ask for, is to have fun and any improvements or suggestions for new projects, feel free to DM me.

Thanks, it took some time for me to make it.

So today I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, actually, I fell off the bed, now falling of the bed gave me something I most definitely never felt before, and it was malice. Pure hatred for gravity and for some reason, it went from hating gravity, to Newton and then to hating every mathematicians 2nd love, CALCULATORS!!!!

First mission: make it look horrible on purpose. I shipped peak eyestrain in style.css, then put it in the UI in index.html so it’s basically a neon warning label with buttons. Like some 2000s website :3.

Now, if you thought that was extreme, I made it so that instead of doing normal addition like a NORMAL program, I made a massive lookup table and split it into multiple files so the browser can load it without exploding (hopefully)

After that, since im dragging a dead meme, I added the number 67 (I swear its a religion atp) and you should most definitely trigger this!

Now whats better than a useless calculator… A CALCULATOR THAT GETS MAD!!! This now has an anger meter that ramps up when you do annoying inputs(Im not going to tell you, your gonna have to find out!)

NOW! Another feature that makes this calculator the best in the world is that… It likes gambling as well!!! (It has a crippling gambling addiction lol); I introduced a “Close enough mode” which just rounds numbers randomly for fun.

Finally, when people get bored of mathematics, they can always access their achievements, because nothing says “math tool” like gamifying 1+1!!!!

After all of this, I had to 1, replace my finger nails. 2, replace my keyboard and 3, unlobotomize myself after looking at the best calculator ever fr!

Alot of pain sweat and tears were leached out of me for this project, so PLEASE! Appreciate it and feel free to DM me for new project ideas that are cursedddd!!!!!!!

Err that’s practically it lol. im gonna prolly do more bug squashing after mabye more trolling features, idrk.
