Slot Machine Design with 3

Blazor Slot Machine demo implements a 5-reel spinning slot UI using CSS transform animation and Tailwind layout utilities. It shows staggered reel stops, disabled button state, and responsive sizing.

## What's implemented - 5-reel slot UI with animated spinning reels and staggered stop times - SPIN button with disabled state and icon swap while spinning - Long virtual reels populated with random symbols, then trimmed to final view - Center alignment guide lines and gradient overlay for visual depth - Responsive sizing via Tailwind utility classes (sm: height variants) ## Key components - Razor components: SlotMachineDemo.razor and SlotMachine.razor - Razor constructs: @for loop, @onclick event handler, @code block - State variables: isSpinning, reelsContent, reelPositions, transitionDurations - Runtime helpers: Random, Task.Delay, StateHasChanged - UI elements: button with FontAwesome icons, inline styles for transform/transition ## How it works - On initialization each reel is seeded with a small set of symbols. - Spin() prepares long reels (SpinSymbolsCount) and computes a random final index per reel. - reelPositions and transitionDurations are updated to trigger CSS transform animations (translateY) with staggered durations. - StateHasChanged() and Task.Delay() coordinate the UI update and wait for animations to finish. - After the animation finishes, reels are trimmed to the visible SymbolsPerReel and positions reset. ## Styling - Uses Tailwind utility classes for layout (flex, gap, w-full, sm:h-64), spacing, rounded corners, borders, and colors. - Animation is implemented via inline `transform: translateY(...)` and `transition: transform Xs cubic-bezier(...)` (CSS transform animation). - Visual overlays include an absolute gradient and center red stop lines; pointer-events-none is used for decorative elements. - Responsive behavior relies on Tailwind `sm:` prefixes; layout centers within a min-h-screen container. ## Reuse steps 1. Add the two Razor files (SlotMachine.razor and SlotMachineDemo.razor) to a Blazor project and register the route if needed. 2. Ensure Tailwind CSS is available in the project (or adapt classes to existing CSS framework). 3. Include FontAwesome or replace icon markup with SVGs or text. 4. Adjust SymbolHeightPx and Tailwind height classes to match chosen symbol sizing and fonts. 5. Wire optional services (logging, backend result validation) and add unit/UI tests for spin timing. ## Limitations & next steps - This is a single-page UI demo; no server-side validation, accounting, or persistence for results is included. - Accessibility improvements needed: keyboard support, ARIA labels, focus management, and reduced-motion preference handling. - Visual and audio polish (spin sound effects, particle effects) requires extra assets and possibly JS interop. - For deterministic outcomes or multiplayer behavior, integrate server-side logic or cryptographically secure RNG.
