Randomizer for choosing lightning talk speakers
You should clone lightning-select, add your own avatar images in img/
, and modify index.html
to use the images and speaker names of your choosing. Speakers should only go in the 8 outer frames, not in the center frame.
Then open index.html
in your web browser.
Click the center frame to choose a random speaker. The selector will move around for a moment to create suspense, and then will highlight a name in red when it stops. The selector will never stop on a "dimmed" frame.
Click a speaker frame (one of the 8 outside frames) to dim/undim the speaker. When dimmed, speakers will not be chosen by the random selector.
Don't forget to play cool tunes while Lightning Select is visible!
- Find an image of the person
- Crop the image to a square such that most of the remaining area is covered by the person's face
- Increase the contrast and brightness of the image such that the highlights on the skin get washed out and the shadows are not too large
- Scale the image to 30x30 pixels
- Convert the image to the color palette of img/background.png (In The GIMP, simply open background.png and paste the avatar image in to it.)
- Resize the image to 120x120 pixels with no interpolation
