Zen Garden: Rake the Sand
A small dry-stone zen garden to rake between calculations. Draw ripples in the sand around one to three rock outcroppings.
- One to three rock outcroppings, placed differently in every garden
- Rake the sand into grooves with the pointer or a finger
- Concentric ripples around any rock with one click
How to use
- Drag across the sand to rake it. The rake trails slightly behind the pointer, so slow, sweeping curves give the smoothest grooves.
- Click a rock to rake rings around its outcropping.
- Ripples rakes the whole garden in the classic pattern: straight lines, parted by rings around the stones. Smooth levels the sand.
- New garden places a fresh set of rocks.
