Special Pi Day Post

 

Workbench that approximates π by generating a lot of random points within a square area and filtering the points within the 'circle' area. Inspired by Math Parker.

 

Keep in mind that a buffer does not generate a perfect circle, rounding random numbers has a negative effect on the randomness and with more random points there will be a more consistent result.
