🧪 3D Monte Carlo Pi

The 3D Monte Carlo method estimates pi: thousands of random points fall within a square with an inscribed circle, and the proportion of hits in the circle increasingly accurately approximates pi.

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation demonstrates the Monte Carlo method for approximating pi by generating random points within a square and calculating the ratio of points falling inside a circle inscribed within that square.
