# Hide and Google 🤖
*Hide and Google* is a twitter-bot that runs server-side (or client-side, if you wanted) to play the world's most difficult and adventerous game of hide-n-go-seek. Utilizing a variety of API's such as [twit](https://github.com/ttezel/twit) and the free Google Street View API, this little piece of [Node.js](nodejs.org) Javascript can actively monitor for responses on tweets and run itself.
#### Current development status [1.0.0]
As of Jan. 2018 - this is barely built up. Meaning – It's probably unstable since I just wrote it. But it seems to work... Feel free to fork and have fun under the [GNU AGPLv3](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html) license but **please note** a large majority of this source code is likely to be overwritten or heavily modified on a day-to-day basis.
##### Script workflow
- Searches downloaded list of city names and filters names that are just too difficult to spell in English
- Sends an API request to Google to see if a random street view .JPG is available in the city.
- Since Google doesn't offer a "no" output, but rather a grey "not found" image, the software tests the size of it and determines what it is, automatically filtering it.
- Connects to twitter API and posts the image with a randomly selected message. Uses the stream to wait for the correct response, and when it's seen, the bot congratulates the winner and moves onto the next round.
##### To be added
- Lots.
#### Demo
https://twitter.com/hideandgoogle
#### Quick Start
`$ cd /hide-and-google/`
`npm i --save twit random-world inquirer image-downloader fs`
Go into the `hag-bot.js` file and focus at the top.
This will need to be configured as per your keys and desired settings.
*NOTE*: This will be ported over to a seperate config.json file soon!
```
// ----- SETTINGS
const googleStreetAPIKey = 'x';
const googleStreetSettings = '&fov=100';
const sizeOf404Image = 9000;
var T = new Twit({
consumer_key: 'x',
consumer_secret: 'x',
access_token: 'x-x',
access_token_secret: 'x',
timeout_ms: 60 * 1000, // optional HTTP request timeout to apply to all requests.
})
```
Then `node hag-bot.js`.
Reccomended that you run this on a VPS with latest Node.js installed.
