I saw some advice once that we should log after the action completes
instead of before. Let's at least be consistent.

Safari Bingo Cards

Fun proof of concept to generate random wildlife bingo cards for safaris with data from Wikipedia.

Example bingo card showing a 4x4 grid of Sub-Saharan African wildlife

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

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
