What's going on?

Rules

• Normally you draw a matrix of 5x5 during a really interesting meeting/conference/whatever.
• You fill in some domain specific words / terms (e.g. domain=java, word={ multiple inheritance, proxy, facade})
• When the speaker uses (selects) one of the words you mark it.
• If you got 5 in a row (horizontal/vertical/diagonal) you won.

Features

• Selected words will be send to everybody (The speaker talks: "blabla multiple inheritance blabla". One user selects it and all get it!)
• Word lists getted exchanged automatically
• Multicast based. No server configuration
• Java2 based
• Simple User Interface
  
  

Download

• BullshitBingo.zip

• IMPORTANT: change the name in the xml file (<bingomessage source="here is your name">...)
• Windows: unzip and

  run.bat

• Linux: unzip and

  java -jar BullshitBingo.jar

  Make sure words.xml is in the current directory

Future

• Maybe I'll do a Windows CE version, but I need a working multicast code for it (c++ or visual basic).
• Word lists will be updated / published here. Send them to mc at austrian-mint.at.
• Another network communication layer (tcp and/or udp based).
• Editing the words.xml in program.
