Spinnerz

iOS iPhone

Spinnerz is a customizable game spinner for quick decision making with realistic spinner physics, sound effects, and 21 graphical themes.

• What flavor coffee shall I order?
• Who should do the dishes?
• What kind of movie should we rent?
• What shall we have for dinner?
• Will I get the promotion?
• Which student should answer this question?

Questions like these are easily answered with Spinnerz, a virtual toolkit of spinning decision makers with beautiful animated graphics, realistic physics, and fun sound effects. Each spinner is graphically divided into a number of spaces (adjustable from 2 to 40) loaded with answers to a question. Flick the spinner to give it a whirl, and see the answer spring to action when the spinner stops.

With realistic physics, each spinner has its own adjustments for weight and friction. Lightweight spinners require a quick flick, but heavy ones can take a bit of winding to build up speed. High friction causes a quick stop; less friction provides a longer spin. Create your own spinners from any of the 21 included themes, and create your own question and answers, or customize any of the built-in sets.

Use the built-in "Yes/No Predictions" spinner to answer any yes-or-no questions instead of flipping a coin. Use the "Excuses" spinner to answer to your spouse, boss, or teacher. Create custom D&D spinners to replace those old dice. Load your favorite spinners with names of friends, teammates, employees, or kids, and assign tasks, chores, rewards, or anything else to the winner (or loser!) of the spin.

Unlike other spinning apps, every spinner is naturally responsive to touch, and you'll enjoy experimenting with the Weight and Friction sliders to see how each spinner reacts. Tired of spinning with your finger? Use the motor drive buttons to power the spinner in either direction. Or, turn on Breath Control and blow the spinner just like a real pinwheel. (Breath Control on iPod touch requires an external microphone.) Two spinner themes even use the accelerometer to let you swing the spinner!

We've made every effort to assure that Spinnerz is easy to use without instructions, but just in case you have questions, we invite you to check out our online user's guide at http://dualcoredev.com/guide.html

FEATURES:
- 21 pre-configured spinners, one for each unique theme
- Create unlimited spinners with up to 40 answers each
- Themes adapt their artwork for the number of answers you specify
- Adjustable weight and friction for each spinner
- Breath Control (blowable spinners) with iPhone or iPod touch with external mic
- Accelerometer support lets you swing the object to spin the Ball and Chain theme and the Ore Cart theme
- Choose from 22 sound effects to play when the spinner stops and the answer is revealed
- Spinometer (speed display)
- 4 ways to spin: finger, breath, "motor drive", and swing (currently limited to Ball and Chain and Ore Cart themes)
- Supports iPhone 4 Retina Display with buttons and custom controls, and some theme graphics (more theme graphics coming in future updates)

By popular demand, we have increased the limit on the number of answers per spinner. It was limited to 20 before, because some of the spinner graphics look pretty crowded beyond 20. However, teachers have been requesting that we allow more to accommodate their entire class, and we listened. The limit has been doubled!
