# ZX/TS P and R: Rounding Formula and Snowcat Graphic Program

Monthly tip: one-line formula for rounding numbers to 2 decimal places. Followed by a BASIC graphics program featuring a moving snowcat with scrolling smoke from its exhaust, demonstrating User Defined Graphics characters and PRINT AT positioning for character-cell animation.
