How do toothpicks approximate the value of pi? I'll show you by coding a simulation in p5.js!

Featured Challenge:
#163 — Bézier Curves
Have you ever wanted to know more about bézier curves in p5.js? Thanks to a generous donation from Jason Oswald, I do a deep dive exploring the bézier curve function and the math behind the algorithm?

Pi approximation
Let's celebrate PI Day by approximating the digits of Pi using a special location in the legendary Mandelbrot set fractal!
In this coding challenge, I use the Leibniz formula (aka infinite series) to approximate the digits of Pi and graph the convergence.
In this coding challenge, I use use a "monte carlo" method to approximate the value of Pi in Processing (Java).
