Project Tabletop 1.1.0

Water Garden joins Project Tabletop: an interactive pond with a flowing rock waterfall, floating rubber ducks and ripples you can stir with a real stick.

Download and install

Download ProjectTabletop-1.1.0-win-x64-setup.exe from the assets below. It targets Windows 11 x64 and includes .NET, the Windows App SDK, native C++ dependencies, hand models and artwork. Setup installs for your account without administrator rights and creates a Start menu shortcut. Existing settings, saved games and exported pictures are preserved when updating from 1.0.

The setup is unsigned; Windows may display an unknown-publisher warning. SHA256SUMS.txt records the release asset hashes, and the JSON manifest identifies the source commit and installed payload. Source archives are separate from the installer. The optional local-control MCP executable remains included in the ControlMcp subfolder.

Water Garden

• A rounded limestone pool, clear water over pebbles, mossy rocks and fine sand. A three-second camera move brings the garden closer, followed by white handwritten titles.
• A simulated three-dimensional waterfall flows down layered rocks and sends ripples and currents into the pond.
• Learn a coloured stick tip or eye sticker, then move it near the board surface to stir the water and push the ducks. Marker profiles are saved for each camera.
• Ten yellow rubber ducks bob, tilt and drift with the water. The waterfall pushes nearby ducks away, and stick movements nudge them aside.
• Open the bottom-left arrow for Exit, Reset and Duck+. Added ducks fall into the pond with a splash and an expanding ripple, bouncing away from other ducks on contact. Keep the Duck+ lettering covered to add another every second, up to twenty ducks; Reset restores the original ten.
• Bottom controls pause while the stick is detected over the water. Remove it, uncover the control and begin a fresh press to use the buttons again. The laptop preview also accepts clicks.

Other improvements

• Water Garden has a new menu illustration featuring the fountain and ducks. Paint remains available beside Roulette on the second menu page.
• An illustrated quick-start guide explains projector, webcam and board positioning, brightness and startup controls.
• Improved stick-marker learning, projected-artwork rejection and tracking-reference handling.
• Water Garden materials are included in Windows packages and checked during installation smoke tests. Missing essential textures keep board controls inactive and show a loading error.
