Tool to generate bingo grids to be used for Wikimedia events keynotes and presentations
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Furthering audience implication and attention during keynotes and presentations has always been a key point of Wikimedia events and as a tech community we must strive to find new ways to facilitate this as we move forward as a movement.

Bingo grids have proven to be a tremendously powerful engagement tool on that matter, preventing audience sleep and involving them in a playful and yet subtle way.

Yet, generating such bingo grids have proven to be challenging (cf. previous work includes the grid of Wikimania 2013). A tool to help generate such grids would be invaluable.

Feature suggestion: allow multiple lists of words, where a random selection from each list with fixed percentage is used in BINGO. That way you can make sure everyone has a few easy words, and a few really hard ones.

According to some reports, there were duplicate entries on a few of the bingo cards. Maybe introduce a check for duplicates when adding a new word to the string?

Right, I heard such reports too. Tracked on https://github.com/Commonists/bingo/issues/3, will submit a patch shortly.

Resolving indeed, as it seems it was a hackathon experiment and it is associated only with the hackathon project.
