MAIN PROGRAMMING AND GRAPHICS WERE DONE BY DAVE BROWN. ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING DONE BY TECHNICIAN & AURAC...THANX GUYS THE MUSIC WAS WRITTEN BY RON FROM RMS PRODUCTIONS. ****************************************************************** ****************************************************************** IF YOU WOULD LIKE A PERSONALISED COPY FOR YOUR OWN BINGO NIGHTS THEN SEND A DISK WITH YOUR GRAPHICS AND I`LL INCORPORATE THEM INTO THE GAME AND GET THE PROGRAM TO INTRODUCE YOUR NIGHT OF BINGO. COST ..FIVE POUNDS ********************************************************************* ALSO IF YOU WANT THE SOURCE CODE THEN SEND FIVE POUNDS AND IT`S YOURS TO TINKER AWAY WITH. ********************************************************************* WHAT!!!! I CANT BELIEVE SOMEONE NEEDS THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS PROGRAM, BASICALLY IN BINGO NUMBERS ARE CALLED OUT AT RANDOM AND THE OBJECT AT FIRST IS TO GET A LINE'.WHEN THE NUMBERS ARE CALLED OUT YOU DRAW A CIRCLE AROUND THEM-DO NOT CROSS THEM OUT AS IT IS VERY HARD TO CHECK YOUR CARD OUT WHEN YOU CLAIM TO HAVE WON. A LINE' IS BELIEVE IT OR NOT,A LINE OF NUMBERS IN A HORIZONTAL LINE ACROSS YOUR CARD(S) CONSISTING OF FIVE NUMBERS WHICH HOPEFULLY HAVE ALL BEEN CALLED OUT.IF YOU ARE THE FIRST TO GET A LINE YOU SHOUT "HERE" OR SOME OTHER CALL,THIS IS TO STOP THE CALLER FROM CALLING ANY MORE NUMBERS OUT AND TO CHECK YOUR CARD TO SEE IF YOU ARE CORRECT.IF YOU ARE THEN DEPENDING IF YOU HAVE PRIZES OR NOT,YOU MAY WIN SOMETHING. SOMETIME YOU CAN CONTINUE ON FOR A SECOND LINE BUT MOST OFTEN YOU GO FOR THE "FULL HOUSE". A FULL HOUSE IS WHEN ALL OF THE NUMBERS ON YOUR CARD ARE RINGED.YOU THEN SCREAM AT THE TOP OF YOUR VOICE "HOUSE".THIS LETS THE CALLER KNOW THAT YOU HAVE WON,YOUR CARD WILL THEN BE CHECKED AND A PRIZE(SOMETIMES)AWARDED,UNLESS YOU HAVE MADE A MISTAKE ,IF YOU HAVE MADE A MISTAKE THEN THE GAME WILL RESUME FROM WHERE IT WAS INTERRUPTED AND YOU WILL PROBABLY BE VERY EMBARRASSED,THE FAMOUS MUTTERINGS USUALLY START... THINGS SUCH AS "I'M SURE 57 WAS OUT" or "HE DID SAY No 3" IF YOU ARE A YUPPIE THEN YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE THE WORD HOUSE FOR SOMETHING A BIT BETTER,SUCH A MANSION OR STATELY HOME. ********************************************************************** TO PLAY PRIZE BINGO YOU SHOULD FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS,THIS DISK CONTAINS FIFTEEN BOARDS,NOW THESE BOARDS ARE DONE IN LO-RES ON DELUXE PAINT SO LOAD THEM INTO YOUR FAVOURITE PAINT PACKAGE AND PRINT THEM OUT.IF YOU DONT HAVE A COLOUR PRINTER THEN BEFORE YOU PRINT THEM OUT USE THE FILL OPTION AND BLANK OUT ALL THE COLOURED BACKGROUNDS. GET YOURSELF FOUR MARKER PENS AND MANUALLY COLOUR THEM IN LATER. EVEN WORSE...WHATS THAT YOU DONT HAVE A PRINTER,LOAD THE PICTURES INTO YOUR ART PROGRAM AND THEN GET YOUR PENS & PAD OF PAPER AND START DRAWING. TO ACTUALLY PLAY PRIZE BINGO THE RULES ARE SIMILAR TO NORMAL BINGO EXCEPT THAT YOU CAN ALSO CLAIM A LINE BY HAVING ALL FOUR CORNERS MARKED OFF. ********************************************************************* I DO NOT ACTUALLY PLAY BINGO - THIS PROGRAM WAS WRITTEN FOR A RELATIVE WHO IS BINGO CRACKERS AND COULD NOT GET A BINGO PROGRAM FROM ANYWHERE FOR HER BELOVED A500. THIS VERSION WAS WRITTEN ON AN A1200,I HAVE HAD IT TESTED ON A 1 MEG A500 AND ALSO A600 AND ALL HAVE WORKED FINE,IT WONT WORK ON A HALF MEG MACHINE (I THINK!)IF YOU WANT A CUT DOWN VERSION WHICH DOESNT HAVE THE MUSIC ON IT,THEN SEND A DISC AND SOMETHING FOR MY TROUBLE AND I WILL SEND YOU ONE. HAPPY BINGO-ING DAVE BROWN P.S. PLEASE EXCUSE ANY SPELLING/GRAMMAR MISTAKE,THESE ARE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CENTRAL HEATING IS OFF AND MY HANDS ARE NUMB. THE CARDS TOOK ME AGES TO TYPE AND I AM 99.9 PER CENT SURE THAT I HAVEN'T MADE ANY MISTAKES. I HAVE PUT PREFERENCES ON THIS DISK SO THAT YOU CAN PRINT THE BINGO CARDS OUT,IT HAS QUITE A FEW PRINTER DRIVERS ON THIS DISK.IF IT HASN'T GOT THE ONE THAT YOU USE THEN YOU WILL NEED TO COPY IT INTO THE DEVS DIRECTORY ON THIS DISK.I HAVE BEEN USING A STAR LC10 PRINTER AND THIS IS THE DEFAULT SETTING.
