What's going on?
I did a Java Program to support Bullshit Bingo.
Rules
not of engagement, but of Bullshit Bingo.
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.
