Type Hunt Bingo

Python

2018

A variation on a traditional Bingo board, Type Hunt Bingo, uses python to randomly pair letters with various characteristics of letterforms.

Type Hunt Bingo is a game I created using Python and Drawbot. The game encourages players to hunt through their environment for the specific letter/characteristic combination that would help them achieve BINGO on their board. I was able to run the game (sponsored by Monotype) at the 2018 Typographics Conference in New York City. Working with Python allowed me to easily create 1000 print-ready, completely unique boards, full of random type hunt challenges. Can you find R written illegally? À on glass? 6 stencilled?

This was the first real project that I made with code and I still things it's pretty rad.
