About This Tool

The Spin the Wheel tool randomly selects an option from a customizable list using an interactive physics simulation rendered on HTML5 canvas.

### Wheel Geometry & Rotational Physics The interactive picker models realistic mechanical wheel dynamics: - Angular Slice Partitioning: Evenly divides the circular wheel face into $N$ wedges: $$\theta_{\text{slice}} = \frac{2\pi}{N}$$ - Rotational Impulse & Friction Deceleration: Clicking spin applies an initial angular velocity, propelling the wheel through multiple rotations. Frame-by-frame friction deceleration slows the wheel smoothly over several seconds. - Winner Detection at Rest: When rotation ceases, the index of the slice aligned beneath the fixed top indicator pointer (at angle $\frac{3\pi}{2}$ radians) is identified as the winner. - Winner History Tracking: Winning outcomes are saved to a session history log to track previous results during raffles or team selections.

### Practical Usage Example Suppose a team enters 6 lunch choices: "Pizza", "Tacos", "Sushi", "Burgers", "Salad", and "Pasta": 1. Each wedge occupies $360^\circ / 6 = 60^\circ$ with a distinct color. 2. Clicking **Spin the Wheel** animates the wheel spinning through multiple rapid revolutions. 3. The wheel decelerates smoothly and stops on "Sushi". 4. The winning selection is announced on screen and logged into the winner history.

### Zero-Server Privacy Guarantee All list configurations, random selections, and canvas animations execute locally on your device. No entries or outcomes are stored on remote servers.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Enter choices into the input field and click Add Option, or use the prefilled sample list.

  2. 2

    Remove unwanted items using the delete button next to any list entry.

  3. 3

    Click the center Spin button or click Spin the Wheel to launch the animation.

  4. 4

    View the selected winner and review previously drawn results in the history log.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the wheel spin truly random?

Yes. Initial spin velocity and stopping positions are generated using standard pseudo-random number generators in client-side JavaScript.

How many custom options can I add to the wheel?

You can add from 2 options up to dozens of choices; the canvas dynamically subdivides the wheel slices to accommodate your full list.

Are my custom options or names saved online?

No. Everything stays in your local browser session memory with zero external transmission.
