Pi decimals by visitor

Simple website that calculates the next decimal of pi with every new visitor.
Demo page at https://devandlife.com/pi-visitor

## Built with

  • Laravel 5.2.31
  • GeoIP for Laravel 5 for getting the visitor's country by IP.
  • Using an algorithm implementation (don't know which one and the person didn't specify) found on this blog in Dutch. I modified it to calculate the next decimal with every visit by saving the previous calculation to the database, while increasing the precision.

## Using

PHP7 for the added speed over PHP5.6.

## Accuracy

As of 2016-05-01 03:39:00 UTC there have been 2168 visitors and the accuracy has been verified against other sources. It will probably start losing accuracy over 9,000? (haha)
