variable rounding
I'm trying to make a scratch program that calculates Pi, but I can't because the variable keeps on rounding itself! Is there a way to make it stop doing that?

Re: variable rounding
I belive if you use the Say block, it will show more digits, but only online. Another approach that works well both online and in Scratch is to use Kevin Karplus's project: Print Decimal which will print up to 15 places to the right of the decimal point.

I used this in my Pi projects and it worked fine.
