Zen Garden

Zen Garden (禅意花园) is a quiet, no-win, no-fail digital interpretation of a Japanese dry rock garden. There is no score, no clock, and no game-over screen — just a square patch of sand to rake and decorate. Drag to trace fading sand patterns, place stones and other ornaments, and switch seasons whenever the mood takes you.

How to play

1. In Rake mode, drag your finger or cursor across the sand to trace a slow, fading furrow.
2. Switch tools above the canvas — stone, moss, petal, lantern or bamboo — and tap to place a decoration.
3. Tap a decoration while in Rake mode to remove it.
4. Choose one of four seasons to recolour the sand and stroke ink — your season and lifetime stroke count are saved.
5. Use Clear to wipe the strokes, or reset everything, whenever you want a fresh canvas.

Tips

• Long, unbroken strokes look most rake-like — let the line drift, do not lift your finger between turns.
• Place a stone first, then rake circles around it — the patterns ripple outward from a fixed point.
• Switch seasons for a fresh palette without losing your decorations. Lifetime strokes never reset.

Zen Garden

禅意花园(Zen Garden)是对日本枯山水的安静、无胜无败的数字化诠释。这里没有得分、没有计时器,也没有失败界面 —— 只有一片可以耙画与装点的正方形沙地。拖动即可留下缓缓淡去的沙纹,放置石头与各式装饰,随心切换四季。

玩法

1. 在「画沙」模式下,拖动手指或鼠标划过沙面,留下一条缓慢淡去的沟痕。
2. 在画布上方切换工具 —— 石、苔、瓣、灯、竹 —— 点按即可放置装饰物。
3. 在「画沙」模式下点按某个装饰物,即可将其收走。
4. 选择春、夏、秋、冬四季之一,为沙地与沙纹换色 —— 你的季节与累计沙纹数会被保存。
5. 随时使用「清空」抹去沙纹,或重置一切,获得一张全新的画布。

玩法技巧

• 一笔成线最像耙痕 —— 让线条自然滑过,中途别抬手。
• 先摆下一块石头,然后绕着它画环 —— 沙纹会像水波一样自一个固定点向外辐射。
• 切换季节会换一套色调而保留装饰物。累计沙纹永远不会清零。
