Hipster-Hits

This repository mimics the behaviour of the game "Hitster", in which each player has to guess the order of years, as well as title, album and artist of a given Song. This program creates custom playing cards from a given Spotify Playlist.

For rules of the game, go here.

The original Hitster APP WILL NOT WORK for the created QR-Codes, you must use any other QR-Code Scanner on your Phone.

Installation for Windows Users and Non-Programmers

Download and Install the following programs with default parameters:

• GIT https://git-scm.com/downloads (default installation)
