Tested various micros running this FLOATING POINT program. It derives Pi to 20 decimal places. Interesting stats.

1 N=20: L=INT(10*N/3): DIM A(255): Z$="000000":T$="999999"
2 FOR I=1 TO L: A(I)=2: NEXT I: M=0: P=0: FOR J=1 TO N: Q=0: K=2*L+1
3 FOR I=L TO 1 STEP -1: K=K-2: X=10*A(I)+Q*I: Q=INT(X/K): A(I)=X-Q*K: NEXT I
4 Y =INT(Q/10): A(1)=Q-10*Y: Q=Y: IF Q=9 THEN LET M=M+1: GOTO 7
5 IF Q=10 THEN PRINT STR$(P+1);LEFT$(Z$,M);: P=0: M=0: GOTO 7
6 PRINT STR$(P);LEFT$(T$,M);: P=Q: M=0
7 NEXT J:PRINT STR$(P)

I have made Super Star Trek conversions for the following systems...

#Commodore64
#CommodoreVIC20
#CommodorePlus4
#CommodorePET / #CBMPET
#BBCMicro
#AcornElectron

All available on my itchio.

Haunted House type-in on the #CBMPET. Enhanced with live inventory and "limited input" routine like the #C64 and #AcornElectron versions.
