Assignment 71 - Pi Estimation

Goals

The purpose of this assignment is to learn to

1. Use a color grid to estimate the value of PI
2. Manipulate a ColorGrid object
3. Learn how to set/change colors for each pixel in the grid
4. Practice using simple loops to display the value of PI using the BRIDGES ColorGrid data structure

Programming

Tasks

• Initialize a random number generator
• Generate points and check if they fall within the sqaure or circle
• Calculate an estimation of pi using the Monte Carlo simulation method
