Miner Bingo Goes Java

Not long ago, we updated the Miner Bingo card, swapping out some new squares and shuffling the board a bit. Typically players would print out the card or mark it up on a paint program. Now Maldric Del'TIrith has come along and programmed a Java-powered clickable Miner Bingo card!

You can find the clickable board here. And, of course, there will always be a link on our Bingo page.

As I'm sure you'll agree, that's some coding worthy of the U.S. Department of Defense.

  2. I'm very tempted to share this with spectators in local when I'm bumping. Maybe even hand out rewards to those who cal bingo first? Who knows!

  5. Whoops! A very simple error led to the issue in Chrome, I'll send James an updated version that will work there as well.

    1. I took a look at it, the issue is not with the code but with the link that James used. When you click on the link you will see https:// at the beginning. If you change this to http:// it will work just fine in Chrome. I sent James a note suggesting he adjust the link on his pages.

      Cheers!
