It's based on +http://www.perkigoth.com/home/kermit/stuff/BullshitBingo. I've taken +additional phrases from http://www.lssu.edu/banished. + +To be perfectly honest, I wrote this because I needed a meaningful, +client-focused playing card which could be the best of breed. I +basically felt that I could use my best practices to bring a total +quality approach to the challenge. Having said that, the actual fact is +I also wanted to control the list of words. This version is not +web-enabled, but it has a few value-added features which should empower +employees, and put them on the critical path towards realising their +core competencies: + +-- dynamic logo-style heading +-- four grids per card -- speaks to serious play +-- user-friendly method of generating many cards at once +-- more than 100 very unique bullshit phrases +-- it's easy to add and remove phrases, so you can be proactive, + not reactive + +-- + +To generate a single card: + mpost bbcard +and the card will be written to bbcard.ps + +To generate 12 cards: + mpost '\nocards:=12; input bbcard' +and the cards will be written to bbcard.1, bbcard.2, .., bbcard.12 + +Those command-lines assume a recent Unix installation. On your +machine, metapost might be called mp rather than mpost, and the +single-quotes might not be necessary. bbcard requires your installation +to be configured to use the font ptmr8r (Times Roman). It is not +suitable for use with the CM fonts. + +bbcard.mp contains instructions for adding additional phrases. +breakwidth.mp can be used to perform simple-minded line breaking +with other metapost routines. + +bbcard.mp is released to the public domain +breakwidth.mp is copyright by patrick mcphee, but there are +no limitations on its use |
