Sure, (nearly?) all games can be cheated, but that's really not the point of most people playing them. In this case, the point is reading articles, so a cheat of browser automation (certainly doable) would defeat the purpose. Also, if the bingo card used images to display the terms, you'd need to implement OCR to automate it. Not impossible, but seemingly not likely.

I wasn't considering it as cheating just that I'd expect, even with the addition of the OCR requirement that such a challenge would meet more interest. In fact I thought that a competition to create said bot and then a challenge to produce a winner, the bots could then be dissected by the community as learning experience. See that sounds fun to me ...
- jcr 16y agoYes, most definitely, a bot competition does sound like a lot of fun. A separate game server just for bots would be great, and it would allow those who just want a fun way to keep track of their reading to use the manual game.
