Coin Flip

The Coin Flip tool simulates a fair coin toss with a quick flip animation and a clear Heads or Tails result — click the coin (or the Flip button) and get an answer in under a second. It keeps a running tally of heads versus tails for the current session, so a series of flips shows you the actual distribution rather than just the latest result. It's the simplest way to flip a coin online when no physical coin is handy, and the instant heads-or-tails result works as a virtual coin toss for settling anything from game turns to tough decisions.

Each flip is an independent 50/50 random draw using `Math.random()` — the outcome of one flip has no bearing on the next, the same as a real coin. Over a handful of flips the heads/tails count can look lopsided purely by chance (that's normal, expected variance, not a bug); over dozens of flips the tally reliably converges toward roughly even, which is itself a nice, hands-on illustration of the law of large numbers for anyone teaching or learning basic probability.

It's a genuinely practical tool for quick, low-stakes decisions: settling who goes first in a game, picking between two options when you're stuck, or running a probability demonstration in a classroom. Because it requires no setup and works instantly on any device, it's also a handy stand-in for a physical coin when you don't have one on hand — for board games, sports team selection, or coding a random binary choice by hand before wiring up actual code.

Every flip happens locally in your browser using JavaScript's random number generator — nothing about your flips or their outcomes is recorded or sent anywhere, and the tally resets whenever you reset or leave the page.
