This is a game about pi(e). Let me briefly introduce it.

  • It has a pie (ImageSprite) on a canvas that is clickable. When you click it, you earn 1 :moneybag:.

  • The game has a time limit of 3 minutes and 14 seconds.

  • I am generous enough to give you 10 :moneybag: at the start of the game.

  • You can potentially lose :moneybag: over time:

    • For every 80 seconds, Tax Token will tax you 25 :moneybag:.

    • At 1:34, Judgemental Owl will judge you, and will take away 30 :moneybag: from you (because he a corrupted judge).

    • At 1:04, a macaw will fly to your wallet, and will decide whether to take away :moneybag:, leave it alone or even give you :moneybag:.

  • After 3 minutes and 14 seconds, the time is up. If you earn 628 :moneybag: or more, you pass, else you fail the challenge.

How is it related to pi?

  • The sprite is a pie.

  • The time limit is 3.14, an approximation of pi.

  • The target of the score you earn is 628, which is approximately pi times 2 times 100.

Enjoy, and let me know if there are any bugs! Also, share your score below! AIA below.

That's unfortunate...I find that my score becomes > 628 only if I click the pie with 2 fingers. It was desgined to be a challenge...

Anyways, here are some screenshots.

3 years ago we had a lot of fun. Maybe some of you discovered other ways to calculate Pi.

Here's a comedic Pi calculator based on a screen grab from @Peter's post.
Will it fool your math teacher?

Here's a comical way to calculate Pi, by using two objects on a friction less plane:

It'd be cool if someone could write an App Inventor app, mimicking simple collisions on friction less plane of two objects, leading to calculation of Pi.
