i need help finding a spinner program. just a simple board game type spinner that i can put my own labels on. i need it for a powerpoint presentation im working on, and i heard if its an applet, i can put it onto the presentation. i have searched google thouroughly, but all i can find is probability spinners for math and geometry. does anyone know how to make one?

I program in my free time just for fun, but I don't think I could make a spinner. Why not just use one from that game with the green, yellow, red, and blue dots on a mat. (forgot what it is called)

You mean, it needs to be an interactive spinner for a powerpoint? A Java applet?

I only know Visual Basic 6, HTML, a little Javascript, and a little Java programming.

Yeah, Game Maker can't make applets. It stinks.

there still a way you could make a typing thing. it would just be a lot of programming.

well i dont want anyone to go through a ton of hassel. and all i need is a spinner with set in categories (if anyone can actually make one, i will tell you the categories) and just hit a spin button and it lands on a random category/phrase/whatever.

In Visual Basic a person can make it to where when you hit a button it selects a random one, because there is actually a "random" command in visual basic.

If it is an actual Java applet, I can probably whip one up for you...

In my AP Computer Science class in high school we may learn Java Applets but first we need to focus on the AP exam which doesn't have Java Applets on it...

was it me, you dont have to go through a lot of hassel. i just need a simple java applet spinner for a category question game.
