Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 264.6 Hz, 20 cents sharp of C4. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

A basketball is a bouncy ball with a pebbled skin for grip and dark grooves, called channels, running around it. The game was invented in 1891 by James Naismith, a teacher in Springfield, Massachusetts, who nailed up two peach baskets as the first hoops.

Tap it for three fast, low dribbles, then a toss onto the fingertip of a robot hand, where it spins until the hand drops away and it bounces down. A full-size ball is about 75 centimeters (29.5 inches) around. Pick its color in the Splash tab.
