Setting Up Development Environment

Before we dive into creating our Bingo game, make sure you have a functional C++ development environment in place. Popular choices include compilers like GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) or Visual C++. These tools will help you compile and execute your code seamlessly. With your environment ready, let’s embark on the journey of building the Bingo game!...

Designing the Bingo Game

Developing a Bingo game in C++ involves breaking down the implementation into several crucial components:...

Implementing the Bingo Game

C++ // C++ Program to implement // Bingo Game #include using namespace std;    // Represents a Bingo card struct BingoCard {     vector numbers; };    // Function to generate a random number int generateRandomNumber(int min, int max) {     return min + (rand() % (max - min + 1));// Mark the number as drawn for Player                      // 1 }    // Function to create a Bingo card BingoCard createBingoCard() {     BingoCard card;     vector possibleNumbers;     for (int i = 1; i <= 25; ++i) {         possibleNumbers.push_back(i);     }     random_shuffle(possibleNumbers.begin(),                    possibleNumbers.end());        for (int i = 0; i < 25; ++i) {         card.numbers.push_back(possibleNumbers[i]);     }     return card; }    // Function to draw a number and mark it on the cards void drawNumberAndMark(BingoCard& player1Card,                        BingoCard& player2Card, int number) {     for (int i = 0; i < player1Card.numbers.size(); ++i) {         // Mark the number as drawn for Player         // 1         if (player1Card.numbers[i] == number) {             player1Card.numbers[i] = 0;         }         // Mark the number as drawn for Player         // 2         if (player2Card.numbers[i] == number) {             player2Card.numbers[i] = 0;         }     } }    // Function to check if a player has achieved Bingo bool hasBingo(const BingoCard& card) {     // Check rows, columns, and diagonals for a Bingo     // pattern Implement your logic here     for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {         // Check rows         if (card.numbers[i * 5] == 0             && card.numbers[i * 5 + 1] == 0             && card.numbers[i * 5 + 2] == 0             && card.numbers[i * 5 + 3] == 0             && card.numbers[i * 5 + 4] == 0) {             return true;         }         // Check columns         if (card.numbers[i] == 0 && card.numbers[i + 5] == 0             && card.numbers[i + 10] == 0             && card.numbers[i + 15] == 0             && card.numbers[i + 20] == 0) {             return true;         }     }     // Check diagonals     if ((card.numbers[0] == 0 && card.numbers[6] == 0          && card.numbers[12] == 0 && card.numbers[18] == 0          && card.numbers[24] == 0)         || (card.numbers[4] == 0 && card.numbers[8] == 0             && card.numbers[12] == 0             && card.numbers[16] == 0             && card.numbers[20] == 0)) {         return true;     }     return false; }    // Function to display the Bingo card void displayCard(const BingoCard& card) {     for (int i = 0; i < card.numbers.size(); ++i) {         cout << (card.numbers[i]                      ? std::to_string(card.numbers[i])                      : "X")              << "\t";         if ((i + 1) % 5 == 0) {             std::cout << std::endl;         }     } }    int main() {     // Seed the random number generator with     // current time     srand(time(0));        BingoCard player1Card = createBingoCard();     BingoCard player2Card = createBingoCard();        // Player 1 starts     int currentPlayer = 1;        while (true) {         BingoCard& currentCard = (currentPlayer == 1)                                      ? player1Card                                      : player2Card;            // Numbers between 0 and 26         int drawnNumber = generateRandomNumber(0, 26);         drawNumberAndMark(player1Card, player2Card,                           drawnNumber);            cout << "Player " << currentPlayer              << " - Drawn Number: " << drawnNumber << endl;            // Display both players' updated Bingo cards         cout << "Player 1's Card:\n";         displayCard(player1Card);         cout << "--------------------------" << endl;         cout << "Player 2's Card:\n";         displayCard(player2Card);         cout << "--------------------------" << endl;            if (hasBingo(currentCard)) {             cout << "Player " << currentPlayer                  << " has achieved Bingo! Congratulations!"                  << endl;             break;         }            // Switch players         currentPlayer = (currentPlayer == 1) ? 2 : 1;     }        return 0; }...
