Neurodivergent Magic Eight Ball
Supportive answers for executive function, sensory needs, and changing your mind — shuffled with the same fair algorithm.
How the randomness works
Each ball is a virtual polyhedral die. Answers are shuffled with the Fisher–Yates / Knuth shuffle, then dealt one face at a time. That is the same family of bag randomizers used in games when independent rolls feel streaky.
The shuffle is driven by PCG-XSH-RR (O’Neill, 2014), seeded from
crypto.getRandomValues and mixed with pointer timing.
Integers are mapped with Lemire’s unbiased method, so every face is equally likely.

About these eight balls
The classic ball uses the 20 original Magic 8-Ball replies. The neurodivergent ball uses supportive guidance around pacing, accommodations, sensory needs, and executive function. Both share the same modern look and the same fair-shuffle engine, so the only thing that changes is the voice of the answer.
