π Day 2026 🥧
Happy Pi day 2026!
I wanted to write a little simulation which (badly) approximates Pi. It's called the Monte Carlo method and simply involves placing a circle inside a square and then randomly placing points anywhere inside the square.
The ratio of points outside the circle to inside is ¼π. This isn't an animation, it's a streamed image of the simulation, refresh to get a new run. I love how randomness can lead to Pi.
