Hi Opus friends,

The schools started this week here in the Netherlands and the first thing the teacher of my son asked me if
i had of can make a Bingo program.
Who can help me with a bingo script? Layout is not important but It would help me very much if i can have a script.

Kind Regards,

generate an array containing numbers 1-100 in a random order:

Code:

myBingoNumbers = new Array;
doRandomRotate(100)

function doRandomRotate(len){

for (var i=0;i<len;i++)
      myBingoNumbers[i] = i+1

while (--len ){
   var j = Math.floor( Math.random() * (len + 1 ) )
   var tempi = myBingoNumbers[len ]
   var tempj = myBingoNumbers[j]
   myBingoNumbers[len] = tempj
   myBingoNumbers[j] = tempi
   }

for (var i=0;i<myBingoNumbers.length;i++) 
   Debug.trace((i + 1) + ':- ' + myBingoNumbers[i]+'\n');
}

</mack>

Mac, the script is working fine. I need to show the numbers one by one after hitting a button.
Now all numbers show up at once.

Can you tell me how to do that.

Kind Regards,

Sorry, didn't see the reply.

The bit of code..

Code:

for (var i=0;i<myBingoNumbers.length;i++)
   Debug.trace((i + 1) + ':- ' + myBingoNumbers[i]+'\n');
}

... simply reads through the whole array of numbers automatically by increase the index - i.

If you want to only show one number at a time, you'll need to increment the index manually.

1. Create a page / publication variable myIndex and set the number value to zero (0).

2. Add the array value to the page by adding a text box and using insert variable > Constant Expression ... add the following code:

Code:

myBingoNumbers[myIndex]

3. Add a Button to the page and then add a Script Action to the Mouse Trigger ... add the following code:

Code:

myIndex = myIndex + 1

Now when you click the button, the index value goes up by one and the constant expression changes to display the next value in the array.

At some point the index value will be higher that the number of numbers in the array but we'll save that bit until you've got this working first.
