4800Pi

[Java Cake Games]

This seemed to go down pretty well on Discord, so here it is on the forums as well - the behemoth that generates pi!

It can be extremely slow, so you may wish to switch to SCREEN 3, 4 or 6 before running. This reduces the time it takes to run to about 20, 5 or 1 minute, down from the 5- or 1-and-a-half hours of SCREEN 0 and 1. Though it also means fewer digits on your screen.

As discovered by SlithyMatt, screen mode 6 has a bug in R41, which the dev units have shipped with. Please use R42 (or newer) if picking that mode.
