I just learned about Buffon's needle problem and wanted to see for myself if I could get close to generating π. Hit the green flag, which will randomly drop needles. If a needle touches the pink line it will turn purple and add to the "crosses" variable. In the project π=2*(Drops / Crosses).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffon%27s_needle_problem This seems to skew high (giving me between 3.25 and 3.4 or so). I am guessing this has to do with the thickness of the sprite, or how sprites interact with side of the stage, perhaps. But is pretty close. Note: The stage resets every 300 drops, due to the maximum number of clones you can have but the variables keep counting up.
