Life is full of decisions, spin the wheel to point you in the right direction! Preloaded with a selection of spinners: + Weekend Activities + Takeaway Food + Wheel of Fortune + Magic 8 Ball + 6-Sided Die + Gift Ideas + Much more... Create your own spinners by entering words or choosing an icon for each possibility. Possible custom spinners include: + Name Picker + Team Chooser + Local Cafe Picker Alter the fraction of any option to change it's likelihood. It's like using a loaded dice! Increase or decrease on option's fraction of the whole circle. Create spinners with various color patterns by changing the color of any option. But remember, any sector can't have the same color as a neighboring sector. Choose from a collection of icons instead of words for your options. Personalize your experience by choosing from more than 10 different colour themes including: - 'Classic' dark - Rainbow - Dusk - Much more...

By purchasing Premium, you can: + Use up to 52 options (sectors) + Choose from all of the app's color themes + Choose from all the spinner presets Please enjoy the app and decisions produced in a light-hearted way. The developer accepts no responsibility for bad decisions made as a result of using the app. You are responsible for all the possible decisions you enter. Have fun! :)

Langton’s Ant is a cellular automaton that models an ant moving on a grid of cells following some very basic rules. At the start of the simulation, the ant is randomly positioned on a 2D-grid of white cells. The ant is also given a direction (either facing up, down, left or right). The ant then moves according to the colour of the cell it is currently sitting in, with the following rules: 1.If the cell is white, it changes to black and the ant turns right 90°. 2.If the cell is black, it changes to white and the ant turns left 90°. 3.The ant then moves forward to the next cell, and repeat from step 1. These simple rules lead to complex behaviours. Three distinct modes of behaviour are apparent, when starting on a completely white grid: - Simplicity: During the first few hundred moves it creates very simple patterns which are often symmetric. - Chaos: After a few hundred moves, a big, irregular pattern of black and white squares appears. The ant traces a pseudo-random path until around 10,000 steps. - Emergent order: Finally the ant starts building a recurrent “highway” pattern of 104 steps that repeats indefinitely. All finite initial configurations tested eventually converge to the same repetitive pattern, suggesting that the “highway” is an attractor of Langton’s ant, but no one has been able to prove that this is true for all such initial configurations.
