This introduces a new "Surprise Me!" button to the game list toolbar, providing a fun way for users to choose a game to play they have within their game directories when they can't decide.

When clicked, a dialog window appears and initiates a slot machine-style animation, rapidly scrolling through the icons of the available games. The animation lands on a randomly selected game, presenting the user with its title.

From the dialog, the user has two options:

  • Launch the selected game directly.

  • "Try Again?" to re-roll and get another random suggestion.

The implementation includes:

  1. A new SurpriseMeDialog to manage the feature's UI and logic.

  2. A custom GameReelWidget that uses QPropertyAnimation to create the smooth spinning visual effect.

  3. A new dice icon for the toolbar button.

  4. Logic to gather all games from the list, handle missing icons, and manage the list of remaining games for re-rolls.
