Comment on Footsteps of pi

I wonder if the path stays consistent in other (maybe very high) number bases, or if that general path is random and unique to base-10

The path will look entirely different depending on the base you choose, but all paths for all bases should look roughly equally "random" because it's widely believed that π is a normal number:
