The Problem Every Group Faces ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Group decisions can feel like navigating a minefield. Do you go with majority vote? Compromise? Flip a coin? Our app introduces a smarter, more engaging solution that brings both fairness and fun to decision-making.
What Makes This App Special? ๐
This isn't just another random selector. It's a sophisticated decision-making tool that:
- Allows weighted option selection
- Creates a visually engaging spinning wheel
- Tracks decision history
- Supports dark/light mode
- Works seamlessly across devices
Key Concepts Behind the App ๐ก
Weighted Randomness: Not Just Luck
Traditional random selection treats all options equally. Our approach? Weighted randomness.
- Each option gets a "weight" between 1-10
- Higher weight = Higher chance of selection
- Introduces nuanced decision-making
- Perfect for scenarios with subtle preferences
Technical Architecture ๐ฅ๏ธ
Frontend Technologies
- HTML5 for structure
- CSS3 for responsive design
- Vanilla JavaScript for dynamic interactions
Core Features
Users can:
- Input decision options
- Assign custom weights
- Visualize options instantly
Our wheel isn't just eye candy. It's a mathematically precise selection mechanism that:
- Dynamically renders based on options
- Animates with smooth rotation
- Selects winner using weighted probability algorithm
Every spin gets recorded, allowing users to:
- Review past decisions
- Understand selection patterns
- Create a fun decision log
Algorithm Breakdown ๐งฎ
The selection process involves:
- Calculate total weight of all options
- Generate a scaled random number
- Iterate and accumulate weights
- Select corresponding option
