How does the random selection work?

Spin In Wheel uses a cryptographically secure random number generator to ensure completely fair and unbiased results. Each choice has an equal probability of being selected, ensuring true randomness with each spin.

How do I add choices to the wheel?

To add choices:

1. Type your choice in the text input field on the right side of the page
2. Click the "Add" button or press Enter
3. Repeat for all the choices you want to include

Each choice will appear in the list below the input field and will be added to the wheel automatically.

How many choices can I add to the wheel?

You can add up to 100 choices to the wheel. However, for optimal visual clarity, we recommend keeping the number between 2-50 choices. With too many choices, the wheel sections might become too small to read easily.

How do I spin the wheel?

You can spin the wheel in two ways:

• Click on the "SPIN" button in the center of the wheel
• Press the spacebar on your keyboard

Can I remove a specific choice?

Yes, to remove a specific choice, find it in the choices list and click the trash icon next to it. The choice will be removed from both the list and the wheel immediately.

How do I save my set of choices?

To save your current set of choices:

1. Click the "Save Set" button in the quick actions bar
2. Enter a name for your set in the popup dialog
3. Click "Save" to store your choices

Your saved set will be stored locally on your device and will be available the next time you visit Spin In Wheel.

Where are my saved sets stored?

Your saved sets are stored locally on your device using browser local storage. This means:

• Your data stays on your device and is not uploaded to our servers
• Your saved sets will persist between sessions on the same browser/device
• If you clear your browser data, your saved sets will be lost
• Your saved sets won't be available on different devices or browsers

How do I load a previously saved set?

To load a saved set:

1. Click the "Load Set" button in the quick actions bar
2. Browse your saved sets in the popup dialog
3. Click "Load" next to the set you want to use

The wheel will immediately update with the choices from your saved set.

Can I change the colors of the wheel?

Yes, the wheel automatically uses a set of visually distinct colors that rotate based on the number of choices. We're working on adding custom color selection in a future update.

Can I adjust the size of the wheel?

Yes, you can use the fullscreen button located in the top-right corner of the wheel container to expand the wheel to fullscreen mode. Additionally, the wheel automatically resizes based on your screen size and orientation.

Can I add weights to give some choices higher probability?

Currently, all choices have equal probability. However, you can add the same choice multiple times to increase its chances of being selected. For example, adding "Option A" three times and "Option B" once would give "Option A" a 75% chance of winning.
