Bingo for Bad People
Inspired by the bingo boards used by Twitch streamers like Hannah Reloaded and some...awkward yet predictable conversations with family members over the holiday season, here's a game to let you build your own bingo cards!
Do you have an uncle who likes to compare Australia's indigenous population to cave dwellers? Do you have a cousin who forgives racism as long as it comes from a sexy man? How often does "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" come up in conversation? Put 'em in a bingo board and compete with your fellow lefty cousins to see who can eke a win out of these horrible conversations first! There's space to save up to 5 bingo boards in case you have Christmas with your racist uncle and Easter with your homophobic stepsister and get weekly calls from your aunt who only wants to talk about her new eggplant recipes. If your family is especially unpredictable, try the "Random" button, it'll generate random items – add the ones that might apply. All your bases are covered!
I'm still not sure if the bad person this bingo board is for is you the player, or the people inspiring the board...probably both? Either way, enjoy!

Okay, so, turns out text inputs is super hard on mobile devices, who knew! If things go wrong, you should be able to back out of the game once a board is saved and then hop back in and it'll work better, and if your board is empty the first time it loads, give yourself a free bingo then reset the board, and your terms should come up properly the second time around. Everything should work fine on the itch app, though! Sorry, guys, I'm new here, and I don't know what I'm doing!

Very cool! A couple things you could fix:
When the entered word exceeds the length of the insertion box, the insertion box becomes permanently stretched. You could make resetting the size of the insertion box part of the text entry so it goes back to its normal size each time.
Long entries overlap neighboring bingo board cells. You could maybe make the text size reduce based on how many lines it wraps into, or just make the text object scale down (although it will look weird).
Edit board/edit cell?
