Double-randomised virtual object generation

A gaming machine comprising:

• memory storing program code;
• and
• a processor configured to access the memory and execute the program code;
• wherein, when executing the program code, the processor is caused to perform a method, the method comprising:
• generating a pre-determined number of virtual pots;
• generating a pre-determined number of virtual objects, each virtual object allocated to one of the virtual pots and comprising a pre-determined number of unique faces;
• randomly selecting a pre-determined number of virtual objects from the virtual pots;
• for each randomly selected virtual object, randomly selecting a face of the virtual object;
• and
• presenting the randomly selected objects on a display, each randomly selected object being oriented to show its randomly selected face.

A method of controlling motion of a virtual object, the method comprising:

• determining a desired final orientation for a virtual object;
• positioning the virtual object at a pre-determined starting position;
• applying a virtual force to the object to propel it toward a pre-determined finishing position;
• applying an interpolation factor to the virtual object, the interpolation factor increasing over time, wherein the interpolation factor causes a pulling of the virtual object into the desired final orientation when the object reaches the pre-determined finishing position.
