= Twitter Game Bot

Just a simple bot skeleton which can be used by game developers to post content to twitter on a regular basis.

Implementation example:

    require 'twitter_game_bot'

    require 'CGI'

    class MyGame < SCEA::TweetBot

  

      trigger_hourly        :tweet_top_player_changes

      trigger_daily         :tweet_top_5, "14:00 - PST"

      trigger_weekly        :tweet_weekly_stats, "Monday - 15:00 - PST"

  

      twitter_credentials   :login => 'mnr', :password => 'sekrit'

      game_api_credentials  :login => 'mnr', :password => 'sekrit'

      game_api_url          'http://mnr.com/beatit/'

  

      def tweet_top_player_changes

        last_top_5 = load_data[:last_top_5]

        top_5      = game_api.top_5.to_hash # expected -> {1 => 'James', 2 => 'Peter', 3 => 'Louisa'}

        save_data(:last_top_5, top_5)

        diff       = top_5.diff(last_top_5)

        diff.each do |position, name|

          tweet "#{CGI.escape(name)} is now #{position.ordinalize}"

        end

      end

  

      def tweet_top_5

        # let's convert {2 => 'Peter', 1 => 'James', 3 => 'Louisa'} to

        #               [[1,'James'], [2,'Peter'], [3,'Louisa']]

        sorted_top_5 = game_api.top_5.sort

        msg = sorted_top_5.map do |position, name|

          "#{position.ordinalize}: #{CGI.escape(name)}"

        end.join(' ')

        tweet msg

      end

  

      def tweet_weekly_stats

        # TODO

      end

  

    end

== Note on Patches/Pull Requests

 

* Fork the project.

* Make your feature addition or bug fix.

* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a

  future version unintentionally.

* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.

  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
