if you think about it you could do a quarter circle but larger which would be more accurate.

Well it is an approximation, so it wouldn't be exactly correct, and by the way it's 3.1415926535, not 3.145926535! The project is awesome!

the numbers are very inaccurate,the first 10 digits of pi is 3.145926535

It takes a very long time to converge on the expected value...very cool approach. I have a key on my calculator the value a bit faster :)

i can see the bubble

Yeah, no speech bubble. Also, for those not familiar with Monte Carlo methods, you should give a brief explanation of how it works. Nicely done.

No idea what's happening here yet, so this is another of your projects to download and study.
