Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 274.9 Hz, 86 cents sharp of C4, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

How to play

Tap it to split it into three.

About it

A wobbly jelly blob, built by the computer from a few rules rather than from photos. Thousands of splats, tiny soft blobs of color, are scattered over a lumpy round shape, and a pattern called noise gives it its bumps and swirls of candy color.

Tap it and it splits into three smaller blobs that wobble apart, then merge back with a jelly bounce. Real jelly wobbles because it is mostly water, held in a loose net of gelatin strands. In the Make tab you can pick a shape, a palette and a seed to build a blob of your own. With ✋ Hands-on on, drag it to stretch it; let go and it wobbles back.
