Talking about Wheel of Fortune game, Game development, HTML5, Javascript and Phaser.

In this quick update of my HTML5 wheel of fortune built with Phaser I am showing you how to configure slices to have different angles, and consenquently different probabilities to win each prize. In slices array now you can also decide the degrees of each slice, bearing in mind the sum of all angles should be 360. Have a look:
Click or tap anywhere to spin the wheel, and get your prize. And this is the completely commented source code:
// the game itself
var game;

var gameOptions = {

    // slices configuration
    slices: [
        {
            degrees: 20,

        },

This was just a little update, but added an important feature as you may want to give players different probabilities to win different prizes. Still missing icons on each slice, going to add them next time, meanwhile download the source code and play with it

Never miss an update! Subscribe, and I will bother you by email only when a new game or full source code comes out.
