Bingo Ticket Printer.
_____________________
Andrew Blagg.
_____________
The BINGO program written by Terry Blunt was originally intended
to be used in clubs where the cost of the tickets is included in the
stake money.
For the occasional home user, an alternative to buying tickets
is to print them as required, reducing the cost significantly.
The basic program BTPRINT uses a random sorting procedure similar
to the one in Terry Blunt's BINGO, but instead of mixing the numbers 1
to 90 into a random sequence, it randomises,in turn,the nine blocks :-
1-9,10-19,20-29,30-39,40-49,50-59,60-69,70-79,80-90.
The array is dimensioned in line 130, and lines 140 to 400 take
each block in turn, shuffling the elements using PROCexch and PROCmix
and storing the new variables x%(1) to x%(90) ready to be printed in
lines 520 to 860.
Line 890 produces sufficient line feeds to advance the paper to
the start of the next page when using standard 11" tractor feed
paper. Another cost saving can be made by printing several pages then
turning the paper upside down and printing on the unused half of each
page.
