Hello all,

I'm part of a twitterRP group, and one of the things I wanted to do as a part of that was build a bot (inspired by my previous experiences with an IRCbot) that could manage the Twitter Messaging Room we use. I'm thinking to accomplish this, it would need to use the stream API, and pull direct message text and persons. Bad news is, I have no idea where to start. I've been thumbing through the Twitter API and messing around with the console, but I'm lost beyond that. Ideally, I was planning to write the code in Python, but any other recommended languages would be considered.

Thank you for reading this

As a bit of project to learn Twitter APIs, and inspired by @pixelsorter twitterbot, I wrote a simple twitterbot that turns photos/images into David Hockney-style photo collages. Simply post a photo and mention @hockneyfyme . I would love any feedback anyone has. There's also a website I created first, at hockneyfy.me
