Bingo application in GtkAda

This is a simple bingo application called BingAda (Bingo + Ada), to play bingo at home with your family during this COVID19 "stay at home" time.

The Bingo is fully functional, you can:

• Start a new game.

• Play bingo manually, clicking in the bingo image button.

• Play bingo automatically, using "Game > Autospin".

• Stop/Start the bingo.

• Check Cards. They are read from a file called bingo_cards.csv.

• Playback of the numbers (better recordings are needed)

• Translations: English, Spanish, German.

• Colors configurable using bingada.css. Two styles provided: light and dark.

• Install Alire
• Build using alr build. All the dependencies are installed and managed by Alire.
• Run directly from bin/bingada

The library used for sound in this case is ASFML available under Linux and Windows.

Clone the repository in this way so you get all the dependent submodules:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/jfuica/bingada

• GtkAda: independently installed
• Sound: three alternative libraries are supported.

You can choose the sound alternative in this way: gprbuild -XSOUND_LIB="sfml" -P bingada_custom.gpr

where the possible values for SOUND_LIB are "asfml" (default), "canberra", "sfml" and "none".

You may need to edit bingada_custom.gpr to remove the sound dependency options ("with" statetements) which won't build in your system.

This option uses the complete Ada binding to SFML provided in https://github.com/mgrojo/ASFML

asfml can be used as a git submodule.

canberra_ada can be used as a git submodule. In order to build it (only for Linux):

cd libs/canberra-ada
make

Required packages are listed in https://github.com/onox/canberra-ada

SfmlAudio is a minimal binding to the C++ SFML Audio library and it is included as part of the project (copied into this repository from RufasSock)

sfmlAudio works in both Windows and Linux.

See instructions in libs/sfmlAudio/README.md

• Install the GNAT Community Edition for your Operating System version.

• Install GtkAda Community Edition and set the default path where you installed GNAT.

• You might need to adjust bingada_custom.gpr, like setting the path to your gtkada.gpr file or removing the line importing the canberra-ada project, since it is not supported in Windows (see issue #11).

• You can open the bingada_custom.gpr file using GPS, or compile with gprbuild -p bingada_custom

• Windows: You need to copy GtkAda DLL files to your execution directory to run bingada.

• Install the following packages (Ubuntu 16.04):

sudo apt install gprbuild gnat libgtkada16.1.0-dev

• Install the following packages (Ubuntu 20.04):

sudo apt install gprbuild gnat libgtkada19-dev

• Build with:

gprbuild -p -P bingada_custom

• Run directly like this:

./bin/bingada

• Or you can install using make install DESTDIR=destination and run from there.

The interface is really simple, and it could be improved, but, I think the main goals could be:

• Cards shown in a table.

• Get better recording of numbers for each language.

• Include status message (Stop/start..)

• Configure other options.

Audio recordings of numbers have been obtained from:

• English by NumberOne from Wikimedia Commons
• German from Wikimedia Commons
• Spanish by Sergeeo from freesound.org
