- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. OS/2 PM Bingo ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- OS/2 PM Bingo is a 32-bit, multi-threaded OS/2 2.0 Presentation Manager
- software program which allows you to play many different types of bingo games
- on your computer. Features include:
-
- o Automated or manual play
- o Computer play
- o Play up to 12 cards at the same time
- o Highly customizable (bingo chip color, sound, draw time interval, etc.)
- o Bingo scores showing number of bingos, number of games and cards played
-
- When you first invoke the program, the Options dialog box is displayed to allow
- you to select the type of bingo game to play and the number of bingo cards you
- want to play at the same time. At this time, you may also select to have the
- computer play one bingo card. Click on OK to continue.
-
- Once the bingo cards are displayed, select Start under Menu or press F2 to
- start the game. Numbers are drawn at regular intervals (according to the draw
- time which may be customized using the Settings dialog box). The Bingo Board
- will display the drawn number in reversed video. Numbers previously drawn are
- removed from the Bingo Board. Also, you may pause the game at any time by
- pressing F4 (or Pause from Menu) and you may draw the next number immediately
- without waiting for the regular draw time interval by pressing F5 (or Next
- number from Menu).
-
- If a bingo has been found, a Bingo! dialog box will appear containing the
- number of the bingo card (if the computer won, Computer will appear instead of
- the number of the bingo card). Multiple bingos will result in multiple Bingo!
- dialog boxes. Select Start under Menu again to start a new game.
