Hi :)
I'm really interested in your project and I think I can help you creating this jackpot wheel.
I have already created something very similar (ie. a wheel with a configurable number of slices) using SVG, jQuery and Ajax to get an xml feed describing how the wheel should look like and behave.
The way it works is by querying a xml stream containing all things necessary to build the wheel. The wheel is rendered on the browser side. The point is that this solution can work with any server-side technology that supports HTTP requests using Ajax (asp.net, php and so on)
To match your requirements, only few things should be added / changed :
- adding a parameter in the xml feed to define few stuff like the maximum number of spins
- including HTML5 audio feature to play a sound when the wheel stops rotating (maybe configurable for each slices)
- changing a bit the way the wheel rotate in my solution since it starts spinning when you click on a slice and not in the center of the wheel.
Obviously, if you have detailled needs on how the wheel should behave/rotate it may not be complicated to satisfy them :)
If my technical solution and my proposal (cost/time) sound interesting to you, don't hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
G.
