Blingo Version 1.0 For GP2X --------------------------- By Ruckage ---------- Christmas Eve 2006 ------------------ About ----- Blingo is a clone of a very popular online game called Slingo. The game is a cross between a slot machine and bingo. The aim of the game is to try to fill the board within 20 spins by matching numbers that appear on the reels with a matching number in the same column. Differences between the original (Slingo) and my version (Blingo) ----------------------------------------------------------------- In Slingo the numbers range from 1 to 75. In Blingo they only range from 1 to 15. However although there is a larger range of numbers in the original they are divided between columns each with a range of 15 (e.g. column a 1-15, column b 16-30, column c 31-45) so there is really no difference. In Slingo a number would only ever appear once in a column, in Blingo the same number can appear multible times in a column. This means you get more choice over which squares to pick (adds a little strategy sometimes as well.) There is no super joker in my version. Instructions ------------ Installation ------------ Just copy the folder anywhere onto an SD card and then find and run Blingo.gpe to play. controls -------- Select+Start at anytime will quit the program. Title B - displays hi-scores (B again to return to title) L / R selects skin (? for random skin) Start - begin game In Game Stick - moves cursor Y - spins the reels B - Marks matching numbers Other controls are explained on-screen. Rules of play ------------- Every turn lasts a maximum of 20 seconds. At the begining of the turn you have 5 second to spin the reels. If you fail to spin the reels in this time you lose the turn. Once you have spun the reels you have to pick the numbers that match the reels in the same column within the time limit. If there are no more matches the timer will move forward to the next turn. You have to buy Spins 17-20 using points or any free spins you have. Alternatively you can pass on these spins. The game ends when you fill in the whole card (Blingo!) or you use all 20 spins. Special Symbols Certain symbols on the reels have special properties. Joker - pick any number in the same column. Coin - 1000 points Free Spin - adds a free spin Devil - Lose half your point. If you are lucky a cherub will appear and save you.
