🎲 The Psychology of Random Coin Tossing
Freud observed that when faced with an agonizing decision between multiple attractive options, letting a random wheel or coin toss decide reveals your true subconscious desire. If the wheel lands on 'Salad' and your immediate gut reaction is disappointment, you instantly know what you actually wanted all along!

Why it matters

Use this tool for dinner decision-making, classroom student picker quizzes, virtual raffle drawings, board game turns, or selecting webinar prize winners.

Built using standard HTML5 Canvas 2D and the Web Audio API without bulky external dependencies, ensuring snappy 60fps animations on mobile and desktop.
Common questions
Is the wheel truly random?
Yes. Each spin selects a random number of rotations combined with random angular velocities generated by JavaScript's pseudo-random number generator.
Can I remove choices as they win?
Yes! Check the 'Remove winning option from wheel after selection' box to run elimination-style games or raffles where names are picked only once.
How many options can I put on the wheel?
The wheel comfortably supports anywhere from 2 to 30 options, dynamically recalculating sector angles and adjusting label lengths.
Does the wheel require an internet connection?
No. The entire canvas rendering engine and synthesized sound effects run 100% locally in your browser offline.
