I recall a command that returns pi (π) in AppGameKit but can't find it for the life of me! Searches are confounded by Rapsberry Pi - anyone know the command?

Ive never seen one either - so yes - that #constant pi is something you just have to put in your app as there is no in built math function for it



or you could go mad for better precision


lol

Using #constant is the correct thing to do

There's no real point in specifying PI past around 7/8 significant places as the digits beyond that cant be represented in a 32bit float variable anyway. They get truncated/rounded.

Uninterestingly, these functions also give PI as well....

PI=ACosRad(0)*2
PI=ASinRad(1)*2
PI=ATanRad(1)*4

All these give 3.141593....via the wonders of trigonometry zzzzzzz
