Weather Wizard Bot

The Weather Wizard Twitter Bot was a project done in LMC2700 (Intro to Computational Media) with Ben Lock. Our Twitter bot takes in information from three separate APIs and utilizes the Processing, JavaScript, and node.js frameworks to create a unique picture that represents the sky at a randomly chosen city. Using particles, noise equations, and the OpenWeatherMap API, our TwitterBot.pde creates a unique, moving image of clouds and rain, if applicable to the location. The bot.js system then posts the 400th frame of this illustration, every hour. Our bot is hosted on an Amazon Server and so will run forever, and features about 600 lines of original code.
