🔒 Roulette Table GIF

[hollow orchid]

Hey,

I've tried and tried for ages to make a GIF for a Roulette wheel with Chat GPT-4 as im not particularly experience with PIL.

Im having a lot of problems calculating the pocket the ball lands in when spinning both the table and the ball independently.

Anyone here ever made one of these gifs, or know an API that can generate them?

Heres the code ChatGPT made and the resultant GIF.

Does this code not work? What pocket does it give you?

[hollow orchid]

This code does work, however I want to spin the table and the ball simulatenously not just spin the ball.

Chat GPT gets very confused when spinning both and I'd like to know if anyone here might be able to suggest a solution.

This code just spins the ball on a static table

[lofty lark]

So the code you post works. Do you know how to modify it to spin?

[hollow orchid]

Yes let me get the code of them both spinning

I'm not interested in debugging gpt code tho. If you want to learn, then stop using gpt, please.

Hm ok, I just havent really done much with PIL and not entirely sure where to start learning for something like this, theres not really any resources for anything like this that I could find.

rotating an image is the very first example in the docs

[hollow orchid]

The issue isn't rotating the image, its more about knowing the zone in which the ball lands after spinning

[hidden tide]

if you know how much the image is rotated, and how many degrees each section of the wheel takes up, you should be able to calculate it

The table is just a PNG, I had chopped it up into slices like: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1217527668279476235/1296169174803943477/roulette_wheel_with_transparent_overlays.png?ex=67114f1c&is=670ffd9c&hm=69cfe542ceae2b937ac24f211ff3263ed386c46f5026cbeb90a7acb1fff4e9f8&

Maybe the maths was just off after it being spun

[hidden tide]

You aren't calculating anything with physics. You should know the result before the wheel even stops spinning

[hollow orchid]

Yeah i know
