PI approximation with Monte Carlo method.

ComputePI

PI approximation with Monte Carlo method.

How does it work?

1. Draw a square.
2. Draw a circle inside that square.
3. Start drawing dots at a random place on the in the square.
4. Count the dots that fall inside the circle: dots_in_circle.

# Approximate the area of the circle:
circle_area = screen_area * (dots_in_circle / total_dots)

# Use the circle_area approximation to calculate PI:
PI = circle_area / (self._circle.radius ** 2)

Usage

You can run the project with:

$ python compute_pi.py
