PocketZen
A japanese rock garden just in your pocket. To relax and meditate creating the beautiful symbolic representations of natural landscapes on your device
The japanese rock gardens or "dry landscape" gardens, often called "Zen gardens" were influenced mainly by Zen Buddhism and can be found at Zen temples of meditation. Though each garden is different in its composition, they mostly use rock groupings and shrubs to represent a classic scene of mountains, valleys and waterfalls taken from chinese (and later also japanese) landscape painting. Now you can have these symbolic representations of natural landscapes using stone arrangements and sand on your mobile.
This software is shareware. This means that here you can download a freeware "lite" version, while if you want to upgrade to the "pro" version you have nothing else to do than sending me a small donation (just click the button here below) to say "thank you", and i'll send you the cab via mail.
Usage:
Choose your instrument (rack or finger) and start drawing paths on your zen garden: paths represent seas, oceans, rivers, lakes. While stones, that you can place selecting the stone icon, are hills and mountains: now you can project and create your own landscape.
Advantages of "pro" version:
The freeware version has less functions than the "pro" one. That, instead, has:
- access to preferences;
- ability to save/load your zen garden;
- option to enable/disable sound;
- option to choose rock shape (between 6 shapes)
- ability to switch between portrait and landscape
- meditation mode. Enabling this mode, the app draws itself paths in your garden, so you can sit back and relax.
Note:
This app is for VGA and WVGA devices only
