This script takes a javascript expression in the range [0, 2 * Math.PI] and find the smaller integer approximation. This value can be used in a size-optimized productions or where the full precision is not needed.
I, Mathieu "p01" Henri, often use this kind of numbers in my tiny JS demos ranging from 64 bytes to 1024 bytes.
