Random Wheel

Spin the customizable decision wheel to pick random names, raffle winners, or make quick decisions with realistic physics and sound effects. Typical uses include classroom student selection and quiz question picking, raffles, giveaways, and contest winner determinations, group dinner decisions, board games, and chore assignments, and random team lead and meeting icebreaker rotations. The focused Random Wheel workflow is intended for people who need a dependable result without opening a larger desktop application or creating an account for a one-off task.

The wheel calculates final landing angles using window.crypto.getRandomValues and applies a realistic physics-based cubic bezier deceleration curve rendered frame-by-frame on an HTML5 canvas element. Its controls cover cryptographically secure random wheel deceleration algorithm, customizable segment colors and slice probabilities, remove chosen winner option for multi-round raffles, smooth 60FPS Canvas hardware-accelerated animation, and sound effect synthesis via Web Audio API. The tool accepts newline-delimited list of names or choices, and Optional relative weighting per entry. It produces the winning entry displayed in a celebration popup that can be reviewed before it is saved.

Wheel readability is best with up to 100 choices; larger lists may have compact segment text labels. Requires an active canvas-supporting web browser with JavaScript enabled. When Random Wheel is marked as in-browser, its work remains on the current device; available memory, processor speed, browser support, permissions, and source quality can still affect the result. Keep the original material supplied to Random Wheel until its winning entry displayed in a celebration popup has been checked for the intended use.
