A Twilio application that serves as the Dungeon Master's SMS companion, providing a text interface to random dice rolling.
[
A little stressed out one afternoon in the office, I decided to whip up another Twilio 25-liner like the SMS Weather I put together earlier in the week. Same rules applied here as the weather app, and I gave myself 50 total minutes to complete:
- It had to do something significant. Couldn't be something silly like Laughotron.
- Start to finish in no more than 25 lines, including whitespace.
- It had to pass my PEP8 vim plugin. No crazy single-line, more than 80 column shenanigans.
- Application had to be code complete by the time Super Marios Brothers alarm clock went off.
- It must withstand a reasonable amount of poor user input - no brittleware.
To accomplish this, I busted out the Twilio Hackpack for Heroku and Flask and my second ed DMG.
