How do I get a lot of digits of pi?

Hi. I would like to know how to get a lot of digits of Pi into a ROBLOX game, but I don’t know how. By a lot, I mean in the millions of digits, specifically as a string and not an actual number. A user called genzgames pulled this off a while back in his “One Million Digits of Pi Obby” (One Million Digits of Pi Obby - Roblox). Is there any explanation for how to get it that precise?

I believe he used httpservice to get the numbers from a website. I tried printing it with that method but it said inf since it was over the 308 digit limit.

Sorry if it seems like I’m asking for a lot but something to point me in the right direction would help. I’m not asking for whole scripts. Thanks.

I found this file online that seems to contain all 1 million digits of PI.

-- I wouldn't recommend trying this in the command bar
local digits = game:GetService("HttpService"):GetAsync("https://www.angio.net/pi/digits/pi1000000.txt")

print(#digits)

Here is
1milliondigitsofpi.txt (976.6 KB)

It would be inefficient to calculate these your self :slight_smile:

Nevermind. I got it to work with 100 million digits. Thanks for helping anyway.

(I did use the httpservice method but I would not try it with anything over 100 million. ROBLOX just wont let you.)

print(string.format("%.99f",math.pi)) -- highest decimal you can get
