@electron_greg @Robsonde Maybe try it with the Monte Carlo method next? https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dsa/estimating-value-pi-using-monte-carlo/ Edit: You'd probably want a standardised RND function in that case as well, though, otherwise much will depend on the specific implementation in the BASIC used.

@electron_greg@oldbytes.space @Robsonde@mastodon.social Hi it is Spigot algorithm : here is a page detailing how it works. Interesting change of variable base http://www.pi314.net/eng/goutte.php Note: it looks pure integer. BTW I am trying it on some other targets. I will post extra figures. I will try TRS model 1 (emulator seems to run it in 75 sec but will try on real hardware). I will also try Belgian DAI computer (had some memory issue on a first attempt).
