This weekend, we all friends gathered together to play one of most famous Indian game Tambola. This game is also known as Housie or Bingo.  Normally there is central pot where numbers between 1 to 90 placed in piece of paper or plastic balls. Host reveals numbers one by one by randomly selecting those balls or piece of papers from pot. Problem for us were, we all have children and there is no way they will allow us to play with this way. Instead of host picking numbers, our kids would have been played with those. So what I did is, simple HTML page with random number generator between 1 to 90. Plugged my laptop to chromecast and voila, everyone in room playing traditional game in modern way 😉

Sometimes, its hard to remember Tambola number meaning, so added those as well.

    Very good software. But why the numbers do not appear at the correct places. For example – no. 1 should appear in the first box, no. 2 in second box , no. 90 in last box. Also there should be vocal announcement of numbers.

    I also love to play bingo games with my family and sometime playing these type of games is lovable. But the number greater idea is really unique one.

    They have not shown 39 and 21 and is saying that all numbers are exhausted

    The game is really cool but there’s a bug in the code, without generating some numbers it displays the message the numbers are exhausted, just to help.

    I was able to recreate the error that people are seeing of not all numbers getting generated. The issue is when you are impatient and click too many times, or are used to double clicking.

    There is a simple fix for that – we just disable the ‘generate number’ button as soon as we receive a click, and then re-enable it after we are done with generating the next number and the animation.

    Here is the suggested fix of the click handler of the btnGenerate button (indented the 4 additional lines of code):

    $(‘#btnGenerate’).click(function() {
    $(this).val(‘Please wait …’)
    .attr(‘disabled’,’disabled’);
    $(‘#prevNum’).text($(‘#numCounter’).text());
    random = bingo.generateNextRandom().toString();
    $(“#numCounter”).css(“display”,”none”);
    $(“#mirageElement”).css(“display”,””);
    $(‘#numCounter’).text(random);
    //$(‘td.cell’ + random).addClass(‘selected’);
    $(“#mirageElement”).numAnim({
    endAt: 90,
    duration: animDuration
    });
    setTimeout(function(){
    if(bingoNumberWords[random-1]){
    $(“#bingoWords”).text(bingoNumberWords[random-1]);
    }else{
    $(“#bingoWords”).text(“”);
    }
    $(‘td.cell’ + random).addClass(‘selected’);
    $(“#numCounter”).animate({zoom: ‘200%’}, “slow”);
    $(“#numCounter”).animate({zoom: ‘100%’}, “slow”);
    $(‘#btnGenerate’).val(‘Generate Number’)
    $(‘#btnGenerate’).removeAttr(‘disabled’);
    }, animDuration*1000);
    });

    Enjoy!
