Twitter * Game: Help a guy out, would ya?

Hey everyone!

I’m building a game for coursework that uses what people say on twitter to generate levels. Pretty cool, eh? However, because I’m not capable of programming natural language processing into flash, I need you to do me a favour. I need you to “Tag Your Tweets”.

So how’s this going to work then? Well, in the game the tag creates the obstacle in the game, and the rest of your tweet will decorate and fill in that obstacle. To get your tweet in the game, this is what you do:

“Your Tweet #tgame Tag”

So in the real world, it would look like:

“I’ve had a great day #tgame happy”

“I’m dancing around to Daft Punk! #tgame music”

“@dude Why didn’t you get what I asked for? #tgame anger”

Hopefully this makes sense!

What I would like to hear is your suggestions for tags and obstacles – leave a comment here or tweet about it (start with #tgamesuggest).

This project is due to be finished by the end of the month, and it’ll be put online for everyone to play and comment on.

Thanks for your help!
