Safari Bingo Cards
Fun proof of concept to generate random wildlife bingo cards for safaris with data from Wikipedia.
Usage
Once the requirements are satisfied you can generate a card. By default it generates a 4x4 grid with 16 images:
$ ./generate.py -i data/animals.csv -o out.jpg
[INFO] Generated random sample of 32 animals...
[INFO] > Creating thumbnail for Helmeted guineafowl...
[INFO] Generated card with a 4x4 grid of animals...
[INFO] Wrote out.jpg
The script will download the images from Wikipedia, generate thumbnails for the sampled animals, and output a bingo card as a JPEG file.
Requirements
Set up a Python 3.11+ virtual environment and install the requirements:
$ python3 -m .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.lock
TODO
- Credit photographers — these photos are all some variation of CC-BY so we need to give attribution
- Add filtering by region — the metadata already exists, though perhaps needs to be adjusted
- Refactor — perhaps needs to be more object oriented
- Make a web frontend — I can imagine a light frontend that would shuffle the images in realtime and allow generation of a number of cards
