Twitter Bot - Zork Game

About a month ago I created a Twitter Bot that lets people play their own instance of Zork. For example send a tweet to:  @zorkgame look http://twitter.com/zorkgame Its very rough and ready ,but have fun for a few minutes if that's your thing. Some techincal details:

  1. It is written in Groovy,

  2. It has an XMPP client part using Smack API,

  3. It has a HTTP client part using HTTPBuilder

  4. Integration to Twitter is via tweet.im, a Twitter via XMPP service,

  5. Any Large Zork responses are refered to via a Tweet with a link to a temporary user specific drop box on Mailinator which will contain the large message

  6. The Zork game is provided by these guys,  the script POSTs and 'parses' the response (screen scrapes),

  7. The bot is hosted on an Amazon VM (as part of another plaything).
