Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Fortune Ball work?
The tool holds an array of 20 pre-written responses -- 10 positive, 5 neutral, and 5 negative -- matching the classic Magic 8-Ball distribution. On each shake, it picks one at random using Math.floor(Math.random() * 20). A CSS keyframe animation shakes the ball element with decreasing amplitude, then the answer fades in with a scale transition.
How many possible answers are there?
The Fortune Ball has 20 possible responses, matching the classic set: 10 positive, 5 neutral, and 5 negative. Each shake randomly selects one of these answers.
Is the answer actually random?
Yes. The answer is selected randomly each time you shake. It is a fun decision-making toy, not a prediction tool -- treat it like flipping a coin with more personality.
Can I ask any type of question?
The Fortune Ball works best with yes-or-no questions. Open-ended questions will still get one of the 20 standard responses, but the answer will make more sense for binary questions.
