CasNum turns geometry into arithmetic

CasNum is exactly the kind of delightfully unnecessary project that still matters because it shows how much creative range open source developers have left. It is less a practical math library than a memorable proof that weird execution models can still teach, entertain, and inspire.

• –Numbers are represented as points in the plane, with addition, multiplication, division, and even logical operations derived from line and circle intersections
• –The standout demo is a modified Game Boy emulator that boots Pokémon after roughly 15 minutes, then benefits from caching to reach a barely playable speed
• –An optional viewer makes the construction process visible, giving the project real educational value beyond the joke
• –The repo reads like a software art piece, but it also doubles as a serious exercise in symbolic math, caching, and emulator hacking
