Spinergy

Draw a shape, give it a voice, and see how long you can keep it spinning. Now with a proper perspective view, four disco palettes, space, and water ripples.

Spin a coin. Watch it go.

Spinergy is about the small, perfect pleasure of setting something spinning and watching it run. Pin it with one finger, strike it with a second, then let go and see how long you can keep it spinning.

TWO FINGERS, REAL TIMING

Your first finger stands the coin on its edge and holds it there. Your second strikes the rim. Catch it in time with the spin and it picks up speed, mistime it and you bleed the spin away. Lean it too far and it slips out from under you. Hold it steady, wind it up, release clean.

Then it's out of your hands. It runs, it wobbles, the wobble quickens, and it comes down in a clatter. Every run is timed and counted, and your best for each object is kept.

FIVE THINGS TO SPIN

A coin that lands heads or tails. A top that sleeps upright. An octahedron balanced on a single point. A fidget spinner on a bearing that goes and goes. And your own shapes. Paint a profile and Spinergy sweeps it into a solid with real mass, its own balance and its own way of falling over. A wide flat disc behaves nothing like a tall narrow spindle, because the physics is worked out from the shape you drew.

GIVE IT A VOICE

Record two seconds of something spinning and three of it clattering down, and your shape sounds like that. The spin sound tracks the rotation, so it rises as the shape speeds up and drops away as it dies.

SOMEWHERE TO SPIN

Green felt. Any color you like. Deep space with just the object and the stars. Water that ripples out from where it touches. Or a lit disco floor in one of four palettes, dropping a ring of color every third turn. Nothing flashes: the floor cross-fades, because an icon of an app shouldn't give anyone a headache.

WATCH IT PROPERLY

Slide the view from straight overhead down to table height and watch it lean into the felt. Put a long run on double speed. Photograph your own coin faces if you want your face on the money.

No accounts. No ads. Nothing to buy. No timers telling you to come back tomorrow. A coin, a table, and how long you can keep it going.
