About it
A marble is a small, hard ball, usually of glass, with twists of color inside. Children have played games with little balls of clay and stone for thousands of years; glass marbles became common in the 1800s. A twist of colored glass is set in the middle of the ball while the glass is hot and soft.
Tap it and it rolls around a little circle, turning the way it rolls, so the swirl inside turns too, under a polished glass shell that catches the light at its edge. After one lap it is back exactly as it was. Pick the color of the swirl in the Splash tab.
