About Car Bingo
Car Bingo was created by Ben Judson Sr. It was designed for family road trips; allowing a family on a long road trip to print a bingo card with likely visual sightings along the way.
The game encourages observation and interaction among family members, making road trips more engaging and fun.
Players can mark off items on their bingo cards as they spot them, aiming to complete the entire card during the trip.
How to Play
The car bingo website is a dynamic game allowing users to generate bingo cards.
Set the states, or provinces you will be traveling through, and the website will generate a bingo card with items likely to be seen along the way.
Click the card to mark off items as you spot them during your trip.
History
Created by Ben Judson Sr. The game has evolved through the years, being adapted by his son Ben Judson Jr. to include a digital version for online play.
Version 1.0
The first version of car bingo was made using PHP by Ben Judson Sr. the interface was a simple white page with settings options for selecting states and generating bingo cards.
The website would present users a generated bingo card to print off and play during their road trips.
Version 2.0
The second version, adapted by Ben Judson Jr., introduced a css overhaul, improving the visual design and user experience of the online car bingo game.
Players could interact in a user friendly way, and could play on the website rather than printing out physical cards.
Version 3.0
The third version further enhanced the game. Developed in collaboration between Ben Judson Sr. and Ben Judson Jr., it introduced more interactive features, improved graphics, and a more intuitive user interface for online play.
The project used the react framework to create a dynamic experience, using brighter colours, and smooth animations throughout the game interface.
