About it
A torus is the shape of a ring: a circle swept around a line beside it, like a hoop made of tube. Donuts, bagels, swim rings and bicycle inner tubes are all tori. In topology, the math of shapes that can stretch but not tear, a torus has exactly one hole, so a coffee mug with its handle counts as one too.
Tap it and it pops up onto its edge and wobbles around like a coin spun on a table, leaning lower and circling faster until it drops flat. Real rings and coins do this: as one leans lower, its low point runs around faster, so a settling coin whirs quicker just before it stops. Under Dress it as in the Splash tab, pick a plain torus, a donut, a bagel or a swim ring.
