How does the arrow spinner work?
Click Spin and the arrow whirls, then slows to a stop pointing in a random direction. The result shows that direction as a compass heading and an exact angle in degrees.
Is this a random direction generator?
Yes. Every spin lands on a uniformly random heading, so it works as a random direction generator — pick 4-way (N/E/S/W), 8-way (adds NE/SE/SW/NW), or raw degrees.
What can I use the spinning arrow for?
Pick a direction to walk or drive, break a tie, choose who goes first, or decide which way a game piece moves. On the editable imperialism map, a spinning arrow can even choose which team a team attacks next.
Is the arrow spinner free?
Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up. Spin as many times as you like.
