How To - Getting Started
Follow the steps below to get started after installation ...
1. Adding Prizes - Click on the Edit icon. Type your prize name and click the 'add prize' button. You must add at least 2 prizes to the wheel. Add up to 15 prizes.
2. Spinning the Wheel - Click the Play icon. Click the 'spin' button to spin the wheel. You can set the duration by using the slider to adjust how long the wheel spins. The 'remove last item' checkbox will automatically remove the item once the wheel stops on a particular item. This will prevent you from giving away two of the same prize.
3. Title Graphic - Click this button located on the Play screen in order to show a title graphic. This is useful to display the name of the game before and after you play.
4. Next and Back - Click the 'next' and 'back' buttons to rotate the wheel one pie piece. This allows you to show all the possible prizes on the wheel before you play the game.
How To - Connecting to a Projector or TV
The app does require a second monitor in order to view the game in full screen for the audience. Connect your computer to any projector or TV and the game will automatically size to fit the screen.
You must connect to a second monitor before you open the app. The app will check for a second screen when it opens.
Will the game work with a Mac or PC?
Yes. The game uses Adobe AIR. System requirements can be found here, http://www.adobe.com/products/air/systemreqs/
What resolution does the game support?
Anything up to 720p. It will display at larger resolutions, but you may experience performance issues and graphics will be stretched to fill the screen.
How do I register?
Once you purchased the product, login at http://digitalstache.com/account. After you are logged into the site, you will see a list of your purchases with associated serial numbers. Copy and paste your registration number into the registration screen within the game.
To enter the serial number, on a PC, open the program and go to "Help" -> "Registration", and fill in the required fields. On a Mac, open the program and go to "Spin That Wheel" -> "Registration...", and fill in the required fields.
Why is there a 12 character limit on prizes?
The limit is due to the limited graphical space on the wheel.
Can I reorder my prizes?
Yes, in the list of prizes, simply click and drag the prize to the desired order in which they appear on the wheel.
Why is the preview disabled during the game?
The preview is disabled only when you have an active second display. In order to have the smoothest playback possible, we must disable the preview so your computer's resources can focus on the full screen animation.
Why is the wheel off to one side?
We did this so that we could maximize your screen real-estate with prizes that were properly oriented. If we were to center the wheel and make it smaller, the prizes would be harder to see and most of them would not be right-side up. If you want to scroll through the prizes, to show them off, you can use the next and back buttons.
What is the weak spin button for?
Sometimes your contestant needs a friendly nudge to get them more into the game. If the contestant seems a bit unenthused, click this button and it will taunt them.
