A python script which uses LaTeX to generate custom Cards Against Humanity cards for easy printing.
Take a look at the Output folder for PDFs generated by the example input files in Input. The goal of this project is to be easily able to generate files of proper printing quality, ready to be printed and cut.
- Since this is open source, the cards' size, text and appearance are entirely customizable.
- This doesn't need the Internet! Who knows, maybe you'll need this in some apocalyptic future.
Just run main.py. You'll need pdflatex, pdftk and Python 3 (Python 2 can be used with very few changes, if any). Tested on Linux and Windows 7, both 64 bit and with MikTeX.
None! Well, actually, a handful of useless cards are included for testing purposes (see the Output and Input folders). You're free to create your own, or find already existing ones online.
Simple text files: each line will be a new card. Use \\ for line breaks, ___ for an underlined blank space (on black cards). Some special LaTeX characters have to be escaped, such as $, \ and %.
- The original files downloadable from the official Cards Against Humanity website uses
#231f20rather than pure black. If printing in color is an option for you, it's probably a good idea to change the LaTeX code and PNG images accordingly. - The expected paper size is in letter size. Adjustements would have to be made in order to use A4, for example.
- A lot of the LaTeX code could be refactored and reused with a better Python script. I've just been lazy. Sorry.
