Client program  - User guide

This is the program used by the players.

At the top left, the last numbers drawn will be displayed. On the right side you can see an overview of all the numbers that have been drawn.

In the middle is an open field where shared and personal messages from the server, as well as game status, can be displayed. Server status is either registration mode or the game is started.

The lower part has a few buttons on the left, on the right your own assigned boards will appear. When a number has been drawn, you must manually press the board to mark the drawn fields.

Next to each board there is a button marked "Bingo". To enter Bingo, you must press the button associated with the board in question.

Language selector is at the top left corner. Click the BINGO logo to show the About window.
