Bingo Card

A bingo game made for use while watching schmaltzy Christmas movies. It is easily extended to other domains by adding new prompts.

Quickstart

Test locally

• Clone the repo and install it.

git clone https://github.com/HaroldPutman/bingo-cards.git
cd bingo-cards
npm install

• Build the application with npm run build before starting with npm start
• Visit localhost:3000.

Setting up CircleCI

I am using CircleCI to deploy to the web. When changes are merged into master they will be automatically deployed.

The current configuration is set up to deploy to Google Cloud Storage. There are some environment variables that must be set in your Circle CI environment:

• GCLOUD_SERVICE_KEY Create a service user in GCP Console and set the key here. It's JSON data.
• GOOGLE_COMPUTE_ZONE The Google Compute zone (us-east1)
• GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID The Project ID.

Prompts

You can create your own prompts in a JSON file. The default is film-tropes. This is designed for use while viewing shmaltzy Christmas movies. You can specify another file in a URL parameter cluefile= (name to change).

In the prompt file, Long words can be marked for hyphenation using soft hyphens \U00AD. This will cause the word to break when needed on small screens.

Credits
