    \$\begingroup\$ I like the challenge, but technically wouldn't such a system also be incapable of displaying source code? Except for Piet, of course. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 18, 2014 at 21:40

    \$\begingroup\$ And how do you define human readable? For example, my handwriting is readable to some humans (at least one) and not to others. (By the way, 2^(2x2)=16, enough glyphs for all 11 digits. ;) ) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 18, 2014 at 22:19

    \$\begingroup\$ I don't understand the title at all, I don't understand how ASCII art can be ok when we cannot use text display, and the question very much needs a definition of "calculate PI". \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 19, 2014 at 9:07

    \$\begingroup\$ What does "calculate pi" really mean? Could I hard-code a bitmap of the first 20 decimals? (Doesn't make use of any built-in PI constant or similar) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 19, 2014 at 18:40
