BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question

Bingo!
Creating a Bingo game for my kids, I have 75 menus along with a small script for each of them: (1)mov GPRM 2, 1 (2)exit Pre-Script. Have a CLEAR script incase someone wins and they want to start over, so i put a button on each menu incase this happens and is pointed to this script: (1)GPRM 1, 0 (2)mov GPRM 1, 0 (3)mov GPRM 2, 0 (4) mov B1, 0 (5) mov B2, 0 the (B) in the ball number all the way to mov B75, 0
Now my select Ball script is confusing me a bit ,i have 8 scripts for selecting balls; balls 1-9, balls 10-18, ect... The reason for so many ball scripts is that there are not enough lines to add all 75 balls in one script, so and the end jump of ball 1-9 it goes right to 10-18, everything is working ok, but the thing is that yes it's random from ball 1-9 and so on, it's never really a random game because it has to pick those 9 balls in each script before it goes to the next and so on, my question is, can the ball 1-9, ball 10-18, and so on scripts can those be random as well, so if it's picking a ball from script: balls 1-9 and now is going to pick the next from script: 10-18 and back to script balls 1-9 or to another script because i have 8 ball scripts to choose from or did i go about building this wrong.

Thanks so much Drew for getting back to me, got me off to a great start, have a few more quick questions if i may. I totally scrapped my scripts and build the ones you posted and here is what i ended up with 4 clear ball scripts: 1-24, 25-48, 49-70, 71-75, where should the last clear ball script 71-75 end jump go?
Would probably go to a menu that says "Start Game" with a button that jumps to Shaker script, or you could just jump to Shaker and have the first ball drawn
Ball shaker script i built it just like you posted, i see that it only holds 9 balls due to the lack of commands you can add to a script, do i just build more like that one but change lines 18-43 and change it with the next set of balls 10-18 and also lines 2 - 9 do they need to be changed as well.
Yes basically. Lines 1 through 9 can come out. You will not need to do a Random again since the number is chosen in Line 1 and no further routing is needed because all the Randoms are handled in Lines 2-8 so everything can shift down with Line 9 being the first line. I guess you can then handle an extra ball or two, but this breakdwon into a few scripts handling 9 was something that was (for me) easier to see/maintain. In the other scripts for the balls the lines that are Goto 1 (if Ball Selected) should be go back to Shaker script
Now as far as the rest of my assets in DSP, i have 75 menus called B1 - B75. i assume i need a small script for each ball do i build them as: (1)mov GPRM 7, 1 (2)exit Pre-Script. and have that as a pre script for each ball menu.
Do not need the pre-script (looking like you are just using that to mark as selected) , the lines such as 19, 21, etc mark the balls as selected. Lines 20, 23, 26 should be set to jump to the menu you want
Let's say Shaker is called
1.) Line 1 makes a Random number, it selects 8
2.) Lines 2-8 do nothing since the conditions are not met (GPRM 7 > 9)
3.) Line 16 sends the script down to line 39 since GPRM 7 = 8
4.) Line 39 checks to see if Ball 8 was previously selected (which it wasn't)
5.) Line 40 marks Ball 8 as selected
6.) Line 41 should then send to your Menu B8
man i want to thank you for all you help so far, i get so much help from this forum, awesome people on here.
FWIW I actually made a better version of this, but running into a bug, probably related to Simulator I would guess more than anything. Lot less code and quicker. Will see if I can get it going
