Scene catalog
Every scene with the parameters that change it, seeds that end well, and what usually happens at the end, measured by the engine.
Ball bouncing in a circle
One or more balls bouncing inside a circle. Every collision plays a note and can make the ball grow or speed up. It is the scene that defined the format.

Shrinking circle
The arena shrinks until the ball no longer fits. The climax is guaranteed: space runs out, and the video ends in the final squeeze.

Escape the ring
A ring with a spinning gap. The ball only escapes when the gap lines up, and the spin speed decides the suspense.
View the scene
Nested rings
Several concentric rings spinning in alternating directions, each with its own gap. A ring falls through its gap or by wear, after a number of impacts, and every break is a visual and sonic landmark.

Ball race
A race down a vertical track taller than the screen, with pegs and bars drawn from the seed. The camera follows the leading ball and never looks back.

Parametric figure
The arena stops being a circle: the boundary is a mathematical figure, rose, superellipse, flower or gear, spinning slowly. Valleys gather the ball and tips scatter it.
View the scene
Closing gate
Escape the ring plus the shrinking circle: the gap spins while the radius shrinks. Every near miss costs time, and time is space.
View the scene
Peg field
A fixed opening guarded by concentric crowns of pegs, each rotated against the previous one. There is no straight corridor to the exit.
View the scene
Twin flower
Two concentric flowers spinning in opposite directions, each with a gap. Escaping means crossing both, and the alignment is rare and brief.

Ball sumo
Two to eight balls in a ring with a single spinning exit. Every collision makes the one that hit grow, space tightens, and being pushed out is elimination.
View the scene
Lane duel
A vertical track split down the middle: two balls, one per lane, never touching. The lanes get the same rows, each with its own draw, and the camera follows whoever is ahead.
View the scene
Slalom
Ramps almost as wide as the track, alternating the side of the gap. Every ball slides down the same ramp and fights for the same hole on every floor.
View the scene
Pendulum wave
Pendulums released together, each with a period slightly shorter than its neighbor's. The column turns into a wave, a checkerboard and apparent chaos, then realigns at the end of the cycle, in a perfect loop.
View the scene
Numeric trajectory
The Collatz sequence of the starting number becomes the arena's rhythm: each step is a beat, short on even and long on odd, and the collisions follow the parity.
View the scene
Fourier drawing
Chained arms spinning at integer frequencies, and the tip of the last one draws a figure: heart, star, bolt, flower, infinity, gear. The stroke closes at the end of the cycle and the video loops.
View the scene
Class duel
Every ball is born with a class, a health bar and a power of its own. Collisions take health, rage builds until the climax is guaranteed, and the last one standing wins. One-on-one mode has rounds, K.O. and a scoreboard.
