 It's not just a song from summer camp, its an old-timey game: Here is a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGCEpUAnkSg|Video Explaining the rules]]
-First we will make a ''BingoCell'' class, then a ''BingoCard'' class, and finally we will make a ''BingoGame'' class.
+=== BingoBallHopper ===
+First we will make a ''BingoBallHopper'' class that will make all 75 bingo balls, and randomly selecting them one at a time, kepping track of which ones were called.  To save time here is the {{ ::bingoball.java |BingoBall.java}} class, the {{ ::bingohoppertester.java |BingoHopperTester}}, and the starter code {{ ::bingohopper.java |BingoHopper.java}}.  You just have to finish the constructor, the ''nextBall()'' method and ''called() method''.  Read the comments above each for the details.

+=== BingoCard/BingoCell ===
+Next we turn to the player's Bingo cards.  We will make a clickable box for each square that we'll call the ''BingoCell'' class, then make a 5x5 grid of these which we will call the ''BingoCard'' class. Finally we will make a ''BingoGame'' class that will put all these elements together.
 The ''BingoCell'' class would be a subclass of {{ ::cell.java |Cell}}  that would add the attributes of a number and a font. It will have its own draw method that can draw its number.  Here is a hint on how to build upon the draw method of the parent class: {{::drawhint.png?200|}} For now, let a cell that is "off" represent an uncalled number, and a "on" cell be one that the player has clicked on when that number is called. Later you may wish represent a called number differently. The class should have the following:

-You can test out your BingoCell class by adapting {{ ::celltester.java |CellTester.java}} to construct new ''BingoCell''s in the resetCell method.  The rest would not need to be changed since a ''BingoCell'' is a ''Cell''.  Eventually, your ''BingoBoard'' class would be the ultimate test of your ''BingoCell'' class!

       - The "O" column has 5 unique numbers from 61-75
   - a toString method that has no parameters, and returns a string representation of the board that is similar to : {{::bingotext.png?200|}}
-  - a draw method takes a Graphics parameter to draw the board
   - a method 'hasBingo' (that returns a boolean) which detects a win for the rows, columns, and diagonals (later you can overload this with method that takes a parameter for the "blackout," "corners," or "box" variants)

+The "Extreme Programming" approach is to begin by writing one or more  client classes of ''BingoBoard'' to test each of these specifications. The first 4 can be done with a text based application, starting off with a simple one like {{::simpletester.png?200|}}
+The draw method can be tested by a ''BingBoardTester'' that you could start by adapting the ''CellTester'' code.
+=== BingoGame ===
+The ''BingoGame'' class can have one or more BingoBoards and random numbers from 1-75 can be "called out." These are randomly selected, but each number can only be called out once.  The number called is only on the screen temporarily (you probably want to use the javax.swing.Timer like the [[https://mathorama.com/apcs/pmwiki.php?n=Main.SimonGame|Simon Game]]
