That’s an interesting concept. I’d start by mapping the music’s beats to a simple physics engine so the petals respond predictably. A small prototype would let us tweak the timing and make sure the visuals stay in sync with the sound. It’s a good mix of logic and art, just keep the core mechanics tight and test frequently.

Sounds like a good plan. Start with a short, simple beat pattern—maybe one beat every two seconds—so you can get the timing right before adding more complex rhythms. Keep the physics light at first, like a basic spring model, and let the petals move slowly. Test the code often, make sure nothing feels too chaotic. That way the garden stays calm and the music stays the main focus. Good luck, and enjoy the process.
