Bingo Bango Bongo

1. install python and visual studio code

• https://www.python.org/downloads/
• https://code.visualstudio.com/download/

2. install prerequisites

• from the command line: "pip install image"

3. create blank bango cards

• cards should be 1080x1920
• design however you want as long as you have enough room for bango squares
• you may want to design the cards so that the round number is written on them -- if you want to do 4 rounds, make 4 different blank cards
• example card: https://imgur.com/a/yqT8805 (or scroll down to the bottom of the instructions)

4. get emojis ready

• move emojis to a single folder and convert to 128x128 PNGs with colored background and padding: https://bulkresizephotos.com/en
• separate emojis into folders for each round
  • you need at least 25 emojis per round

5. load folders with emojis and blank cards

• the folder structure should look something like this:

\bango\bango.py
\bango\images\
\bango\images\background\
\bango\images\squares\
\bango\result\

• bango.py is the python script
• the \images\background\ folder is where you put the blank cards
  • replace the image in the background folder for each round
• the \images\squares\ folder is where you put the emojis (at least 25 per round)
  • replace the emojis in the squares folder for each round
• the \result\ folder is where the cards will be saved

6. run the script

• edit output filename in bango.py:

  • edit the filename with the format "BangoTitle-R#C{}.png":

  result.save(
      outImages + 'FuckoBango-R1C{}.png'.format(cardNum), "PNG")
  

  • the script will output starting from FuckoBango-R1C0.png
  • make sure to change this per round

• edit number of cards in bango.py:

nbCards = 1

• do a test run with 1 card before creating hundreds
• edit pixel offset in bango.py:

y_offset = -145
x_offset = 10

• if you need to align the emojis, adjust this pixel offset.

7. run the script with a shitload of cards

• cards will be in the results folder
