🎉 Happy Pi Day Challenge!

[Drbohlav]

Happy Pi Day (3.14)! What better way to celebrate than with a Dynamo challenge? This is your chance to showcase creativity, computation, and the power of π in design!

The Challenge:
Use the Pi Node in Dynamo to generate something visually stunning, mathematically elegant, or just plain fun!

heh, go on then.

It’s parametric but runs slower than an old snail…

This would be a nice one:

Calculate Digits of Pi Using Python

I wanted to do something clever, but ended up with this abomination.
But there is Pi in it I swear.

Monte Carlo in Dynamo: Test It Yourself!
Randomly scatter points in a square.
Check which ones fall inside an inscribed circle.
Use the ratio of points inside vs. total points to estimate π.

Well this is definitely less scientific.

I might have to recreate this in modern dynamo:

Bit late to the party but I brought Pie, from Pi, in Python.
