A simple, self-hosted, multiplayer bingo game for friends. Create your own phrases and generate fun bingo boards to play in an online, real-time environment.
Each player who joins the game will play on a randomized 4x4 bingo board, generated from 16 phrases. In the future, we may support different-sized bingo boards and better phrase support.

You'll need to create a text file containing 16 phrases (1 per line), and
specify the path to it using the -phrases option. These phrases will be used
to generate the bingo cards. You'll also need a room code, which acts as a sort
of password to prevent random/unwanted people from joining the game. It's also
possible to specify a topic for the room.
