IIRC
they told they want to present the game to the passion msx contest.
I'm sure sooner or later they will show the rom.
Moam has eternal delays, but never the less it is still under development

Simple!

1) Measure the area of a disc
2) start up an assembler, and divide the area by the squared radius of the disc!
3) result = PI

(not sure about the amount of floating point digits you get, but what the heck )

hummm
the area need some Eulero formula... it cannot expand the digits easily

a better way is this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffon%27s_needle

once you implement the hitting code you can run it as many times as you like

In the end the result comes from one single division between the number of tries and teh number of hits

If you need 100 digits you have to implement one single 100 digit division

If you do not want a method with variable precision, this is a good way

;P

There is a debate over who "invented" or found PI , because before greeks , ancientegyptian were using the 22/7 ratio , which is fairly a good approx.

Z80 asm? Why? BASIC is enough for that:

PRINT ATN(1)*4

Please send me the math nobel prize by email. Thanks.

There is no nobel prize for math...

Just a Nobel prize for War Peace

I still wonder if poor Alfred would be proud of the latest awards..

hummm
My solution can have more digits than basic variables (just rip off them from some table)
:-)


anyway this is another way to approx PI: do 355/113
it is a very accurate value, differing from PI by no more than 3×10−7
;-)

I would suggest using table...

If you scroll down and follow the links you also find different ways of calculating pi... How ever I must say that calculating pi is not something MSX is very good for.

PI Calculation is very interesting (no joke) but I post back my question :
Do you release your tools ? Because, I'm VERY interested on this...
