BingoGen

This project was created to test new .NET Core feature - global tools. It shows how .NET handles dependencies and tools' resources, embedded or copied to output directory.

This simple app takes words from a .txt file, shuffles them, creates a 5x5 bingo card and saves it to PDF.

Prerequisites

• .NET Core SDK 2.1.300 or newer
• Make sure your PATH includes the tools' directory ($HOME/.dotnet/tools on Linux/macOS or %USERPROFILE%\.dotnet\tools on Windows)

Install from NuGet (recommended)

dotnet tool install -g bingogen

Install from source

1. Clone this repo.
2. Create a package: dotnet pack --output ./
3. Install package from local source: dotnet tool install -g bingogen --add-source "$PWD"

Note: 2.1 RC1 doesn't understand --add-source. Use --source-feed instead.

If you're on Windows, you may also want to use "%cd%" (for cmd) or ${pwd} (for PowerShell) instead of "$PWD".

Usage

bingogen [input file] [title] [output file]

If input file isn't specified, BingoGen will use its own word list.
