This is my very first software project with a real life application!
Before this project all I've developed were (extremely) simple webpages, .NET (using Visual Basic) and BASIC applications with no other purpose but joy and learning.
A friend of mine needed a custom Bingo board that he could show through a projector while keeping another window in his machine for using the software. I knew a little bit of Visual Basic .NET, so I built this application for him.
It was largely a success in every possible way. He was pretty satisfied with the end result and I have ended with a completely new and exciting experience.
Skimming through the code nowadays, I realise how many my English mistakes were back then (notice I changed the non-existing word Proyect by Project somewhere in the middle), how much can actually be done by copying and pasting lots of code (because, well, that's what I did.) and how much spaghetti code one can create.
This is posted with no prior modification to the original source code I wrote back in 2016 and is meant to be kept like that. Original.
Note: It's written in Spanish. I had plans to continue developement with an English version but I never did it.
Please, please, please, clone this repository inside a folder called Bingo Proyect:
git clone https://github.com/mzahnd/bingo-project "Bingo Proyect"
Here are some recent screenshots of how the project ended up looking
This is the main window(s). The biggest is supposed to be shown using a projector or another screen while the other one is "hidden" from the public, visible only to the host.
The board updated whenever the host entered a number. The last number is displayed bigger in a giant "bingo ball" which changes back to 0 after a couple of seconds.
In case you did not want to show the board the whole time, it can be hidded and only the last number is shown (for a few seconds as well).
If you don't have a cage, don't worrky! There's a random number generator included too!
And, of course, you could customize it: change the fonts, colors and background as you whish.
I almost forget it! THE SPLASH SCREEN!
No software is serious software without one.
