@paulasadoorian Thanks for making me feel old. Atari 800 as a very young kid in the early 80s.

On episode 127 of "ANTIC, The Atari 8-bit Podcast: Brad's 76K Brain", Brad Arnold mentions the game "Omnitrend's Universe", which is new to me.

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)

COMING SOON: #FujiNet GO brings your #retrocomputing and #retrogaming experience with your Android mobile device. Fusing a complete FujiNet implementation, The #Atari800 emulator, and a nice #Android UI, in one easy to use app.

Working on some small patches to the #atari800 emulator. In particular, fixing some small nits in SDL2 stuff that don't quite work the same way as they did with SDL1.2. Some of these are minor, but wading through the code to figure out what is going on and what might have caused the problems is part of what makes this fun.
One can use an #Atari8bit computer like an #Atari800XL, or #atari800 emulator with #FujiNet-PC to connect to a CP/M #cpm emulator.
