The picture wheel, on screen

Frequently asked questions
Who spins the wheel?
A child, with a finger on a touch screen, or you, with a click or the space bar. The wheel spins, slows down and stops on a picture.
And when all the pictures are out?
The counter of pictures left shows it along the way. At the end, “Start again” fills the wheel up again. Set “Remove the picture drawn” to “No” for a wheel that never empties.
