I made a program when I was bored to calculate pi. One of the problems of it was it didnt have support for infinite decimals, so i took over it and remaded it based on http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Pi#Lua, also is nicer . If you cant see the entire screen for reading the number, it saves it to a file called piresult with the real time and date when it was created, if that timeout, it prints time and date of your minecraft world

pastebin get aBGkfgxd picalc

Edit: fixed derp

Screenshots

when you open the program


Calculating



Finished(ask you to run again from where it finished)

Looks good. Could you increase the number of decimal places though?

Thats on the TODO, but i dont find a bigInt api that supports negative values

Useless.
Write in your program:
pinum = math.pi()
print(pinum)

And done, you have and done,
But if you incerase the decimal places,
Congratulation!
