A little coding stocking stuffer for my writerly friends out there.

I made a bingo generator!

...okay, this is nothing which does not already exist on the internet, but I was bored and I wanted to build it. I plan on adding functionality that will pre-load lists of things like tropes, kinks, genres, dramatic situations, etc; problem is, first I have to generate those lists, or find someone who's already generated them who'll let me use them. XD

At some point, I may also add support for 3x3, 7x7, even 9x9 grids, and other fancy stuff like that. Maybe even styling. In the mean time, if you find yourself desperately needing a Bingo card this Holiday season and unwilling to google a generator, here you go! Let me know if you see any bugs. ;)

[ETA] And then I made a nice comma-separated list of These classic dramatic situations, which I don't really see a lot of people using, but which could be used! Mostly as a proof of concept. But, you know, concept proved!

I finally worked this one out! It looks like it had to do with a formatting error in the Aarne-Thomspon list: of of the links had too many "s in a row, which made the HTML throw up its hands and give up in certain situations.

The Aarne-Thompson list should generate cards with all of its values, now, and when it's combined with other lists, it should also pull values from them. (It'll likely still be heavily weighted toward the Aarne-Thompson list, just because that list is so long, but I tested it by selecting every single pre-loaded list in the generator, and that gave me a card that was less than half Aarne-Thompson. Which is probably a testament to ysabetwordsmith's list-writing skills.)

Thanks again for bringing this to my attention, and for bearing with me. :) Let me know if you see any more weird behavior!

YAY! Thank you so much! Now I have a card with some actual variety :D I really appreciate you taking the time to find the error!
