☔ Rain Dial
Five garden beds need water through four nights. Turn a four-spoke dial to direct rain; save reservoir water for later dry nights. Every forecast and target is visible from the start.
How to play
Enter turn 0 2 1 0 to send those amounts to North, East, South and West. Each spoke can send 0-3. A turn costs the sum; you cannot spend more than the reservoir. Rain refills it after each turn, capped at 12. preview 0 2 1 0 shows the score without spending water. state and help are free. After four nights the game ends. Higher score is better.
Each bed starts at moisture 1 (range 0-6). Nightly evaporation is 1. North gets the north spoke; East gets east; South gets south; West gets west; Center gets one water if at least three spokes are nonzero, plus one if all four are nonzero. Each bed earns 10 minus 2 per point of distance from its nightly target (minimum 0); exact matches add 3. Each night can earn up to 65 points. After night four, leftover reservoir adds one point per unit. Plan around the forecast.
