Project: Create a numbers called board for a Bingo night at the KofC
This repository contains a Bingo Board program and related programs and files for a Bingo night. The intention would be to put the large window showing all the numbers on to a large screen HDMI television, with the smaller window on the computer, allowing someone to enter the numbers as they are called. These would then be displayed highlighted on the large board.
Version 2.0 introduces an "automatic" mode, which generates random numbers and places them on the board based on a repeat time given by the user. The timing can run from "manual", meaning that one number will be called each time the start button is clicked, up to automatically doing the next call every 60 seconds. There is a Pause button to pause the game (i.e. to check someone's Bingo). The game resumes when Start is pressed again. Clear clears the board and starts a new game.
A more robust command line syntax is implemented, allowing for both displaying numbers generated externally (like with a traditional ball tumbler) or for running the game entirely generating random calls within the program. Options are implemented to change the page header title and message.
