Program to calculate pi (3.1415...)
.description
piCalc is a CLI-only program to calculate the mathematical number pi to
any number of decimal places (memory and time limit how many). It is made in
very optimized assembler and uses the 64 bit 68020 math instructions to be
as fast as possible. On my 68020/28 it calculates pi to 10000 decimals in
under a minute. It features many options: How often should we save/output
the current calculation, option to show how far it has come and how long
a calculation will take.
