Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 551.4 Hz, 91 cents sharp of C5, 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.

About it
A candle is a stick of wax with a string, the wick, down the middle. The flame's heat melts the wax, the melted wax soaks up the wick, and near the flame it turns into a gas, which is what really burns. The blue part at the bottom burns with plenty of air; the yellow above is tiny bits of soot glowing hot.
This candle starts lit. Tap it to blow it out, and a thin trail of smoke rises from the wick; tap again to light it. A flame is shaped like a teardrop because its hot gases rise; in space, where nothing rises, a candle flame is a round, blue ball. You can pick the wax color in the Splash tab.
