Howdy Chut! I think older compos are ... "old". What did you have in mind? I don't recommend it for a compo, but I just finished writing a TSR (that captures...

How about a program that displays pi to, say, 1024 places after the decimal point? This would either involve some great compression algorithm or some ...

Hi Boreal! Very good compo idea!!!! But 1024 is to much for compression. :-( One decimal digit needs about 3.3 bits, so it means about 422 bytes data and about...

... Depends. I have a pascal program that computes pi using a simple integer arithmetic algorithm, in O(n^2) time and O(n) space. It compiles to a 3k .exe...

That sort of program would be of great interest to me (OK, most of you don't know me so that doesn't mean a lot...). I did a project on the history of Pi at...
Hi ... I'm sorry for spoiling the fun, but INT-E already did a great work on pi calculation: http://www.boo.net/~jasonp/bf3pi.zip I don't think we can beat him...
Thanks for pointing this out. I guess we won't be needing this (attached). I should have checked a little further before jumping the gun. INT-E strikes again....

How about phi? It's another constant (only one letter different from pi) and it doesn't look like INT-E has been here yet. Phi is of course the Golden Ratio,...

Hello. Why not use a much simpler algorithm to calculate Phi? Like this: int a; int x = 1; int y = 1; for (int i=0; i<38; i++) { a = x + y; x = y; y = a; } ...
