Want to use twitter? Checkout tweetstream!
Potentially using twitter to create a text adventure game for LD. Since I’m a fan of using ruby, I found the gem: https://github.com/intridea/tweetstream. It allows you to follow a user’s stream, or any particular keywords. You can use it for example to follow any tweets that @yourbotaccount, and parse the tweets from there to break out commands. It’s pretty cool, was worried I’d have to write some sort of loop checking system.
