# Wheel of Names

This is a fun JavaScript project that creates an interactive "Wheel of Names". You can input any names, spin the wheel, and select a random winner. For added amusement, there's a rigged feature that allows you to predetermine the winner secretly.

Try it out here: [Wheel of Names](https://wheelofnamesv2.netlify.app/)

## Features

- **Add Names:** Enter names separated by commas to populate the wheel.

- **Interactive Wheel:** The wheel visually spins and selects a random winner.

- **Rigged Winner (Just for Fun):** Secretly set a winner before spinning the wheel.

## How to Use

### Basic Usage

1. **Enter Names:**

   - Type the names into the textarea provided, separated by commas (e.g., `Alice, Bob, Charlie, Dana`).

2. **Update Wheel:**

   - Click the **"Update Wheel"** button to generate the wheel with your entered names.

3. **Spin the Wheel:**

   - Click the **"Spin the Wheel"** button to spin and randomly select a winner.

### Rigging the Winner (Optional and Just for Fun)

1. **Prepare to Rig:**

   - Click anywhere outside the input fields to ensure they are not focused.

2. **Activate Rigging Mode:**

   - Press the **spacebar** to start rigging mode. You'll receive a prompt to enter the rigged winner's name.

3. **Enter the Winner's Name:**

   - Type the exact name of the person you want to rig as the winner.
