Twitter Plays Chess

A Twitter bot to play chess against a computer using polls.

How to run

python bot.py

A single run will:

• Get the current board using Redis
• Get the results of the last polls (program exits if polls aren't closed)
• Make the AI play (against Stockfish)
• Check if the game is over
• Post new board and polls

How I managed to make Twitter polls

As a base I used airhadoken's gist for creating polls. I also got my Twitter Api Keys using twurl and the Twitter for Mac Consume Key found here.
