I'm currently working on creating a roulette wheel using JavaScript.
While researching, I came across this example: , but I wasn't satisfied with the aesthetics.
Considering that my roulette will only have a few options, I was thinking of using an image and overlaying text at the appropriate angle. When the wheel spins, I would simply rotate the image and text together.
Do you think this is a good approach, or are there better methods to achieve this?
Using CSS3 rotation is a great way to achieve this effect, but it may only be supported on newer browsers. For even more dynamic results, consider creating a roulette wheel using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). SVG not only supports animation, but can also be manipulated with javascript for added interactivity.
In order to quickly and easily create something, I recommend using a pre-existing Javascript library designed for spinning prize wheels.
As the developer of Winwheel.js, a specialized Javascript library for this purpose, I invite you to visit
A standout feature of Winwheel.js is its ability to combine visually appealing images with customizable text labels on wheel segments, allowing for both aesthetics and flexibility in design.
If you're interested, here is an example of how to implement Winwheel.js...
var myWheel = new Winwheel({
'drawMode' : 'image',
'drawText' : true,
'numSegments' : 4,
'textOrientation' : 'curved',
'textAlignment' : 'outer',
'textMargin' : 5,
'textFontFamily' : 'courier',
'segments' :
[
{'text' : 'Television'},
{'text' : 'Mobile Phone'},
{'text' : 'Old Radio'},
{'text' : 'Computer'}
]
});
var wheelImg = new Image();
wheelImg.onload = function()
{
myWheel.wheelImage = wheelImg;
myWheel.draw();
}
wheelImg.src = "wheel_image.png";
You can find comprehensive tutorials on using Winwheel.js on my website, including one specifically dedicated to creating image-based wheels:

Utilizing jQuery is not a requirement in this case. The demonstration was created using the HTML5 Canvas feature, which offers a clean alternative to implementing certain functionalities without relying on Flash or Silverlight. If you wish to personalize the colors, simply adjust the values within the initial array provided in the code, or experiment with other modifications to achieve the desired effect.
One option is to utilize an SVG (Scalable vector graphics format) image and apply a rotation transformation to it.
For a mobile browser exercise, I created and tested it extensively.
Recently, I added a fun mini-game to my website without using canvas, SVG, or jQuery.
Instead of complicated technologies, I utilized a simple image as the game board's background and placed a <div> element on top to act as the ball.
<div id="board"><div></div></div>
Here is the CSS code:
#board {
width:256px;
height:256px;
background-image:url('gameboard.png');
position:relative;
transform-origin:50% 50%;
}
#board>div {
position:absolute;
margin-left:-7px;
margin-top:-7px;
border:7px outset #ccc;
width:1px; height:1px;
left:248px;
top:128px;
}
For dynamic ball positioning during spinning, I used this JavaScript function:
function placeBall(angle) {
var board = document.getElementById("board"), ball = board.children[0];
ball.style.left = (128+Math.cos(angle)*120)+"px";
ball.style.top = (128-Math.sin(angle)*120)+"px";
board.style.transform = "rotate(-"+angle+"rad)";
}
In older browsers, the ball rotates around the wheel, while in newer ones, it remains stationary but the board rotates with the ball's shading shifting. Adjusting the transformation can offer different effects like "rotate(-"+(angle/2)+"rad)".
