Title: School Pi day game/effect ideas?
Post by: saintrunner on March 07, 2012, 01:22:38 pm

So my school is having a Pi day next week, and my class is required to complete a project or presentation for that day. Since it only needs to be math related I think I might make a game or effect on the calc to show the class. Problem being, I don't know what exactly I should do :( I am thinking possibly something with circles. Then I can show the code Involving pi and the game with the circles. Any ideas?

Hah. In math class last year, on Pi Day, we had all sorts of circle foods (pie, cookies, cupcakes, etc... the pie was peanut butter :3) and out assignment for the day was to measure the diameter of the foods and figure out the circumference. :D

in the EU we actually don't have pi day since we write the date backwards ie not 3-14 but 14-3

I'd say make a clock program and somehow work pi into there. :P

You can make it tell time by the radians of the minutes/hour hand

So for hours,
pi/2 = 12 o'clock
pi = 9 o'clock
etc
