# Bingo

There are one or two Sinclair computer users who play Bingo, or whose family does. From the ‘HACKER’, the official newsletter of the [Timex/Sinclair User Group of Las Vegas](http://localhost/usergroup/timex-sinclair-user-group-of-las-vegas/), NV, comes this gem for the 2068 that prints out BINGO cards on a 2040 printer.

QL users may want to convert to a SuperBASIC program to get a better understanding of AT, BEEP, BORDER, FOR and TAB (use TO instead), which have slightly different constructs.

LPRINT, of course, is unavailable In SuperBASIC. Instead, insert line 5 : ‘OPEN*3,ser1’ to open a channel to the printer, then use ‘PRINT#3,’ Instead of ‘LPRINT’. This is also an easy program to change GO SUB routines to SuperBASIC procedures.
