My Idea is to make a pi block. This block would be in Operators block pallete. It would be useful to find the circumference of a circle.

bobbybee · 2012-02-13 18:18:28

set [pi] to [3.14159]

Didn't you say two ideas? tongue

XD

RedRocker227 · 2012-02-13 18:41:24

I support. Even though I know 72 digits already tongue [/showoff]

An e block would be nice too.

Thanks RedRocker227! Yeah a e block would be nice! smile

bobbybee · 2012-02-13 19:01:19

set [e] to [2.71828]

Greenatic · 2012-02-13 19:36:22

How about a constants block that would combine both, like Panther's! And why don't we add phi as well?

yes, just use variables and set it to the irrational constants.

this is just scratch, you don't need the million digits of pi. 3.14 and 3.14159... wouldn't make a visible difference (unless you have something really big)

Good idea.

kayybee · 2012-02-13 19:43:45

Yeah, and why don't we also add 2?

Just type it in!!!

The scratch team does not need to implement unneeded suggestions. This would not be helpful.

Refer to this when deciding whether to suggest something.

yeah, but if you wanted the sprite to be able to say the digits of pi...

Yeah, and while we're at it, let's add a block for ratios!

trinary · 2012-02-13 22:23:12

Why don't you just TYPE it? Or Google it and copy/paste if you can't be bothered.

oh ok

Mokat · 2012-02-15 18:32:23

You can make this with variables:

 set [variable that's called pi v] to (3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939958209749445923078164)

Same here. Just copy and paste this(and no, I didn't get this from the internet): 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939958209749445923078164. There. That should be accurate enough. wink

Haiming · 2012-02-16 17:53:08

In Scratch 2.0, you could make your own block like that. It would be helpful if it was pre-installed though...

lol Yes, I think that should be accurate enough to suffice. For now anyways, until Scratch get a block with 1,000,000,000,000 digits of pi.

Um is that even possible?
The ST can't program in an indefinite number can they? :p

just 3 is close enough for small circles
