Horse Race

Take yourself to the races!

Game Play

There are three main screens that are shown to the players.

Runners Screen

Bingo Game

Lists the horses that will participate in the race allowing the punters to decide which one to bet their shirt on.

The horse name, and the name of the owner and jockey can be customised in the admin console. The Age, Weight and Going are just for fun, and don’t affect the outcome of the race.

Race Screen

Where the race happens

At the top of the screen is the race indicator. It shows two things. The distance of the race that has been ran, and the current positions of the runners.

Race Results

Bingo Game

Shows the results of the race

Similar to the runners view, this view shows the horses in the order that they finished the race.

User Interface

The interface consists of three elements:

  • Runners – The horses that will be in the race. This updates when the number of horses is altered using the Race Runners drop-down.
  • Race Positions – The progress section will update every second a race is running to show the positions of the horses.
  • Winners Enclosure – shows the first three horses of a race.

Each horse has three editable settings: Name, Owner, Jockey. You can use these to add additional winners and losers to the race. If no values are set for the Owner or Jockey random names will be added.
