A Playground of Motion

A disc that spins as it travels

This is a billiard table with a twist. The disc rolls in a straight line, but it's also spinning. When it hits a wall, the spin phase at that instant decides the rebound — not the usual mirror bounce. Tiny changes ripple into wildly different paths.

Every line is its own color

Each straight stretch between two bounces takes the next of 240 colors from a golden-angle palette, light-painted onto a glowing trail. Pick a stroke style — solid, dashed, dotted — or let Mixed vary it line by line.

Feel every hit

When a line strikes the wall it throws a spark and a soft ripple that spreads past the edge — about three seconds of it. The collision isn't just seen, it's felt.

A happy, soft soundtrack

Slow pentatonic notes with gentle pauses — pitch rises as the disc nears a wall, a soft bell rings on contact, and the game cheers your near-misses and wins. Tap to mute.

Two modes

Demo — free play; paint glowing trails and tune everything. Target Game — drop a mark and try to make a line land on it. Switch them at the top-left.

Set it up in 4 quick steps

A little wizard walks you through it: boundary & look, size & start, aim & speed, spin & time — then a Review step to Launch. Jump between steps by tapping the numbers.

The Target Game

Step 🎯: tap to place your mark (small — 2–5% of the table). Then steps 1·2·3·4, then Start. A line only counts after 3 bounces, so it has to roam first. Land one and you win.

Pause any time — nothing lost

Hit during a run to freeze the exact frame — disc, trail, clock and all — and to carry on from precisely where you were. Soon this is where you'll tap to learn what just happened.

It's secretly physics

Every bounce, curve and colour is real science — inertia, reflection, chaos, golden angles. Open 📘 Learn (top-right) for the concept library. Now — pick a mode and play.
