Billy Bingo's,

How about some details? Do you just want a program that will draw the numbers in random order? That would be about 10 lines of code.

Many thanks & whens the airport or bingo machine coming out?

Here is an interesting BINGO page http://www.ildado.com/bingo_rules.html

So with numbers 1 -90 that would mean the British / Austrailian version of BINGO not the US version.

I know on the US version how you come up with a winner (any row, column, or diagonal filled in) but what do you need to to win in the British / Austrailian version and are there any rules on how the numbers are placed on the BINGO card?

no real "set" way of a uk bingo ticket we get winners on:


line

full house = all numbers









it dose not realy matter cause you can make your own up!!!

Blank?

Then why are some of the squares blank?

Any number can appear in any square?

ahh yeh.


it ranges from 1 -90 in sectons 10's 20's then 30's


if you have six tickets (strip) all numbers from 1-90 will appear randomloy over the 6 tickets.

Wayside, Coding is not my strong point, i am certified to work with and repair ,macs and ipods and i also work with many different retail systems (IBM, NCR and Wincor/nixdorf and POS to name a few) What i have dne is talk to a friend of mine who is verry good with C++ and other languages about this and he will see if he has time. this app does have the potentioal to be verry simple he said and could even be written in BASIC
well if your clever you could do it.
