"""
This is a game idea [what about for Christmas night] using QR-code.

 (1) First I've generated several codes (each one with a different value),
     in my case I use money (values on Brazilian Real) and at the party 
 (2) We randomly assign one to each participant
 (3) They need scan the code to get the prize 

It's interesting because probably kids will know what to do before mostly adults,
so they will teach your relatives ans friends. This game can be more interesting if you
associate with a quiz (each qr-code enables an enigma to next step until the big prize).

   The script below just generate the code for you:

   $ python xmas-game.py 

   and it's easy to figure out what to change to personalize

Leave your computer and enjoy with your family =)

Happy Christmas
