How does the wheel spin?

The wheel uses physics-based animation to create a realistic spinning effect. When you trigger a spin, the wheel accelerates to a random speed, then gradually decelerates until it stops on a random selection. The animation has been improved to be both visually appealing and fair in its selection process.

Can I control the spin duration?

Yes, you can adjust the spin duration in the wheel settings. You can choose from preset durations or customize it to your preference. Longer spins build more anticipation, while shorter spins are useful when you need to make quick selections.

What happens when the wheel stops?

When the wheel stops, the winning selection is highlighted and, depending on your settings, several things may happen:

• A celebratory animation may play
• A sound effect may play
• A dialog box may appear showing the winner
• Confetti may be displayed
• The winner may be automatically removed from the wheel (if enabled)

All these behaviors can be customized in the wheel settings.

Can the wheel be rigged or weighted?

No, the wheel uses a fair random selection algorithm. Every entry has an equal chance of being selected unless you've added the same entry multiple times (which effectively gives it a higher weight). The spinning animation is purely visual and doesn't influence the randomness of the selection.

Can I stop the wheel manually?

No, once the wheel starts spinning, it will continue until it naturally stops at a random position. This ensures fairness in the selection process and prevents manipulation of results.

Why does my wheel sometimes appear to slow down before speeding up again?

This is part of the physics-based animation that creates a more realistic spinning experience. The wheel's deceleration isn't perfectly linear, which adds to the suspense and visual appeal of the spinning process.
