Is there any equivilent to long long or double ( i think double has more values than integers)

Basically i am making a clicker incremental game and at a certain point it just resets to a negative number. I want to have a 64 bit datatype which can go higher than an integer or float.

Thanks!

Your number goes higher than 2147483647? That's a lot of clicks! Could you not use 2 integers? The first int for millions, the second for the remainder...

Thanks!. The clicker games can go even higher with all the upgrades and people idling.

How would i go about using 2 integers? Please can you elaborate.

Thanks!

I ran into the same problem with my tap-tap game "Phone Tap"

I had to create my own library of arbitrary position arithmetic functions. They can add, subtract, multiply and divide any length numbers with the values stored and processed as strings.

The current world high-score on there is 15067445650, so smashed the 2147483647 int limit.

EDIT - All done in Tier 1.

Wish I'd done that! Haha. Maybe a re-write is in order. Still, it was good experience wrapping my head around any-length calculations! Haha.

This is probably a better implementation, as it accounts for increments which do not hit 1000000 exactly... (unless of course you have increments of more than 1000000)
