PDF generator for Cards Against Humanity

What is Cards Against Humanity?

It's a terrible game.

What else do I need?

gem install prawn
gem install trollop

And you're good to go!

How does it work?

Make a text file, and put each question or answer on a separate line. A file with a bunch of questions might look like this:

Git hooks are a secret breeding ground for _____.
______ helps me code until the wee hours of the morning.

If you want line breaks in your questions, use a backslash (\) character. Two line breaks is two backslashes. Three line breaks is...you get the idea.

Step 1: _____\\Step 2: _____\\Step 3: Profit!

Now all you need to do is run cahgen:

ruby cahgen.rb --answers answerfile.txt

I thought Cards Against Humanity used white and black cards to differentiate between questions and answers

They do! But I like my printer's ink cartridge and want some left, so instead I'm using punctuation.

Where's my output file?

It should be labelled "output.pdf".

Can I change that?

Sure! I mean, you just need to change where PDFFile outputs to.

What else will this do?

Uh, if you put a #hashtag in a card name, it will look in the icons directory for a corrsponding image. If said image exists, it will use this image in place of the default image. So you can do editions of cards.
