Create Bingo Game Using Python

A card with a grid of numbers on it is used to play the popular dice game of bingo. Players check off numbers on their cards when they are selected at random by a caller, competing to be the first to mark off all of their numbers in a particular order. We'll examine how to utilise Python to create a simple bingo game in this lesson.

The following ideas must be understood in order to design a bingo game:

• Lists: A list is a group of items that can contain any sort of data.
• Random module: In Python, random numbers are produced using the random package.
• Loops: Loops are used to repeatedly run a block of code until a predetermined condition is satisfied.
• Functions: A set of statements that carry out a particular activity are grouped together into functions.

Steps:

1. Make a list of all potential bingo numbers (1–25).
2. For a random order of the numbers, mix up the list.
3. With the centre square denoted as "free," make a bingo card with a 5x5 grid of numbers.
4. Make a list of 24 distinct bingo cards with various number combinations.
5. Write a function that draws a number at random from the shuffled list of bingo numbers and checks to see whether any of the numbers on the players' bingo cards match the selected number.
6. When a player has checked off all the numbers in a certain sequence, keep drawing numbers (e.g., a straight line, a diagonal, or all four corners).
