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 think I have a bug. I was using this for LJ comments, and the tables weren't showing. Prompts came up fine, just the table was missing entirely, and that doesn't make it very easy to read. Is there some sort of simple change I can make to the coding to make it work? :)

Unfortunately, I don't think that's something I have any control over on my end. I haven't used LJ in a few years, but as I recall, they restrict a lot of formatting in their comment fields. If they don't allow tables in comments, I'm not sure there is an easy workaround.

If other tables are showing up fine, and it's only the ones from the bingo generator which won't work, my guess would be that it's an issue with the inline CSS; I know LJ's made changes in the past which have been pretty hostile to inline CSS. In that case, I'd try removing the entire style="" attribute from the tags, so you just have plain <td> tags and a plain <table> tag.

Let me know if that helps at all!

Thanks for getting back to me. I'll make those changes next time I use it for a comment and let you know. :)
