Just like pulling names from a hat to determine a random order for a group of people, The Hat generates a random order from a list of any number of names. This can prove very handy for parents or teachers who need to assign a random order in which to allow any size group of kids to do actvities or perform tasks such as play video games, use the computer, or do chores.
Enter up to 20 names in the free version. In the Deluxe version, you can enter them manually by typing one at a time, paste them from the Clipboard, or impport them from a text file. You can also save and load lists within the program (Deluxe version). Once a list of names is entered, you can click the "Shuffle" button to rearrange them into a random order. The list is "shuffled" rapidly and repeatedly (optionally with fun animation and sound effects) until the "Stop" button is clicked. At that time the list is displayed in the new, random order and can be printed for future reference or copied to the clipboard for pasting into other applications.
The list of names can be optionally be remembered between sessions so that the next time you open the program, the same list of names is already entered.
