Featured Challenge:
#52 — Random Walker
In this coding challenge, I simulate a "random walk" with the p5.js library. This video is part of the course Nature of Code at ITP, Tisch, NYU.

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).
