Playing the game
the game is based on a 'Spot the Ball' system. The ball has been removed and the winning position has been chosen by a sporting expert and solicitor, with the winning co-ordinates being locked in a secret file in eurocadabra's system.
How to play -
move the cross-hairs, using your mouse (or finger if you are using a touch screen device), to where you think the centre of the ball is and 'click' to drop a co-ordinate 'Pin' into the spot you have chosen and the co-ordinates will be recorded.
if you have more than one play, continue to 'click' the remainder of your co-ordinate 'Pins', using the cross-hairs to guide you, until all your 'Pins' have been placed.
the number of 'Pins' to play and the number of 'Pins' played are indicated at the bottom left hand side, under the 'Spot the Ball' photo.
once you have played all your 'Pins' you will be unable to 'drop' more 'Pins'.
the 'x - y' co-ordinates of each 'Pin' may be seen in the centre of the area below the photo - 'Active Pin Position'.
as you hover over the base of each pin with the cross-hairs, the co-ordinates for that pin will be displayed.
