Here we go with a new update to the wheel of fortune series. This will probably be the last update, unless you suggest a new stunning feature to add. We can build the wheel of fortune on the fly and customize almost everything, and now we also have icons on each slice. Have a look:
Click or tap anywhere to spin the wheel, and get your prize. Icons are provided by Freepik This is my first Phaser 3 script which uses the containers, an enhanced version of old Phaser 2 groups. Icons are stored in an array then added at once. And this is the completely commented source code: 
// the game itself
var game;

var gameOptions = {
