Sound Garden is a musical painting game inspired by the Jennifer Lawrence synesthesia meme. what if you could literally hear colors and see sounds? Paint near glowing seeds to make them bloom into musical plants that create an evolving symphony based on where you paint (pitch), what color you choose (instrument), and how you move (rhythm). ElevenLabs powers the entire audio experience: AI-generated garden sound effects (blooms, wind, water), adaptive background music that grows richer as your garden flourishes, and a poetic AI narrator that responds to your progress. Built entirely in Zed editor (which is incredibly lightweight on Windows compared to vscode), it transforms simple painting into an emotionally resonant creative experience where anyone can compose beautiful music without musical training. TikTok is banned in India, but I used a VPN to create a new account and post the demo anyway - deserves at least 1 extra point! 😄
