I have added an 'accordian' to my 'credits' page at 'bbingo.xyz/cr'

I have added an 'accordian' to my 'names' page at 'bbingo.xyz/n'

I have changed the 'idioms' page to use 'summary' and 'details' tags to make the accordian. Using an accordian reduces the size of the page when first shown. This reduces the time it takes to load the page. See 'bingo.xyz/i'

I have added an accordian to my full 'JavaScript tips' page, 'bbingo.xyz/t2'. I used 'details' and 'summary' tags. Each tip now has a header and is an 'article' tag. This page has over 10 years of tips, with over 1000 tips in total

I have found the average of how many numbers are read out before a player has a 'line' or 'house, when there are 41 players. I simulated over 130,000 games. My game is biased as it only creates 'nice' looking boards. See 'bbingo.xyz/s2'

I have split the 'names' page so that there is a simpler page for mobiles that does not have any animations. Also the toggle switches in the settings look the same. See 'bbingo.xyz/n'. The old page with the animations is at 'bbingo.xyz/n2'

I have added credits for the icons made using just CSS and HTML. Most of the icons come from 'css.gg' and I have made most of these thinner. The icons from 'css.gg' use just ':before' and ':after' elements. See 'bbingo.xyz/cr'

I have added an 'accordian' to my 'idioms' page at bbingo.xyz/i'. The later sections are now hidden at the start

I have added over 500 idioms to my 'idioms' pages at bbingo.xyz/i' and 'bbingo.xyz/i2'

I have added data for 35 to 40 players to the graphs of the probability of a certain number of balls being read out before a player has a 'line' or 'house. The graphs are not normal distributions. See 'bbingo.xyz/s2'.

I have added 450 new names to my page of female first names ('bbingo.xyz/n') making 18419 in total, such as Nqobile, Vinette and Amidala. Some come from Miss World and netball teams. This is my most popular page in Google's search

I have changed the look of another checkbox toggle switch in the settings of my 'names' page ('bbingo.xyz/n'). These settings are shown on mobiles and tablets

I have put an early version (beta) of the next release of British Bingo on SourceForge in the files area as 'bbingo-beta.html'. You can play it online at 'bbingo.xyz/b'

I have given a different look to another switch in the settings of the 'names' page at 'bbingo.xyz/n'

I have collected fresh data for how many numbers need to be read out before a player has a 'line' or 'house', when there are 38 players. See 'bbingo.xyz/newstats.csv' and 'bbingo.xyz/s2'

There is an RSS feed at 'bbingo.xyz/rssfeed' which has details of changes to the British Bingo webpages and game, along with programming tips

I have styled another switch differently in the settings you can see on mobiles and tablets. See 'bbingo.xyz/n'. I am learning about styling switches.

I have made the 'changes' page quicker and better for mobiles. See 'bingo.xyz/c'. There is a link to another page with all the changes and the animations

I have changed one of the switches in the settings shown on mobiles. I am trying to have five different-looking switches. See 'bingo.xyz/n'

I have collected fresh data for the frequency distribution of how many numbers are read out before a player has a 'line' or 'house', when there are 37 players. It is a skewed normal distribution. See the notes at the bottom of 'bbingo.xyz/s2'

I have added credits ('bbingo.xyz/credits/') for the CSS icons from 'css.gg' and for the CSS switch. Some of the JavaScript is more generic now

I have changed my 'names' page ('bbingo.xyz/names/') to have a CSS switch with an MIT license. This page is now more mobile friendly.

There is a new version (1.52). I play it online at 'bbingo.xyz' with all the sound.

The changes are:

• adds animations during a game and when a players has a 'line'
• adds dials showing how well you are doing

I have attached the next version of British Bingo that I am currently working on (and playing).

There is a copy online at bbingo.net78.net/x. This has all the sound

There is a new version (1.51). I play it online at 'bbingo.net78.net' with all the sound.

The changes are:

• adds more animations whilst the caller is reading out the numbers
• adds a few animations when a player has a 'line' or 'house'
• adds the animation of the numbers as they are read out
• lets you play the game with the keyboard
• fixes bug where an iPad shows the layout meant for a desktop
