šŸŽÆ BINGO — Real-Time Multiplayer Bingo
BINGO is a browser-based multiplayer Bingo game that brings the classic game into a modern, interactive web experience.
The project supports both public matchmaking and private rooms, allowing players to either find opponents automatically or invite friends to play together.
Built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Firebase, the game uses real-time synchronization to keep players connected and game states updated across devices.
šŸ’” Why I Built This
Bingo is a simple game, but playing it online with friends shouldn't require complicated setup or downloading an application.
I wanted to create a lightweight browser-based experience where players can:

  • šŸŽ® Start playing directly from the browser
  • 🌐 Find other players through public matchmaking
  • šŸ”’ Create private rooms for friends
  • ⚔ Experience real-time game synchronization
  • šŸ‘¤ Choose a nickname and avatar
  • šŸŽ² Enjoy different Bingo number ranges The project also gave me an opportunity to explore real-time web applications and open-source development. ✨ Key Features šŸŽ® Multiplayer Gameplay Play Bingo with other players in real time through the browser. 🌐 Public Matchmaking Players can join public matchmaking and find available opponents. šŸ”’ Private Rooms Create a private room and share it with friends for a more controlled game experience. ⚔ Real-Time Synchronization Firebase keeps important game information synchronized between players so everyone sees the game state in real time. šŸ‘¤ Player Profiles Players can select an avatar and nickname before joining a game. šŸŽ² Multiple Bingo Ranges The game supports different Bingo number ranges, allowing different styles of gameplay. šŸ” Anonymous Authentication Firebase Anonymous Authentication allows players to participate without requiring a traditional account-registration process. šŸ“± Browser-Based No installation is required. Players can simply open the game and start playing. šŸ› ļø Technology Stack Frontend
