Tweeria is a game with minimal user's involvement. Everytime you tweet, your alter ego finds adventures, kills monsters or gets items.

This is source code for Tweeria, you can use it and modify according the MIT licence.

Also there are two useful articles in our wiki we suggest to check: configuration and Twitter API settings

Tweeria is currently accepting contributions in the form of bug fixes or features (things that add new or improved functionality). Your pull requests will be reviewed and merged to master branch as soon as possible and deployed to the production Tweeria website. We really like to see new mechanics, integration with partners and content additions.

Commiting your code to this repository, submitting pull requests you are granting us permission to use the submitted change according to the terms of the project's license, and that the work being submitted is under appropriate copyright.

Tweeria should work correctly on any linux/osx distributive. Originally Ubuntu LTS was used for production. This guide was written for Ubuntu 14.04.

Tweeria is a Python 2.7 application. We use memcache for caching, MongoDB as a database, SASS as a style preprocessor

In addition to this guide, you will need to create and register a Twitter Application using you Twitter account. Read more about this here in our wiki

Intstall packages using apt-get

sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential git

Tweeria uses Tweepy library to parse user tweets, but unfortunately, this library is not thread safe so we monkey patched library, threw away some time-related stuff out and use this custom build

You would need to do this to install:

git clone https://github.com/idooo/tweepy-threadsafe.git

cd tweepy-threadsafe/

sudo python setup.py install

You need to install Python Image Library because Tweeria using it for thumbnail creation:

sudo apt-get install libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev

sudo pip install pillow

sudo apt-get install python-imaging

Tweeria uses grunt to automate assets building process and SASS as a CSS preprocessor so you will need to install Node and Ruby

sudo apt-get install nodejs npm ruby

# For ubuntu you will require to create an alias for node like this 
# sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

sudo gem install sass
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli

* Make sure you pull the source before you execute this part *

cd tweeria
npm install

# run grunt to build assets
grunt

Install memcache to enable caching

sudo apt-get install memcached

Tweeria uses MongoDB as primary database to store all the things. You will need to install it and the best way to do it - read the officiall documentation and instructions here

After the installation, you will need to create basic Tweeria collections with some data. There is a database backup in Tweeria sources, just unarchive it and use mongorestore tool (included in MongoDB package)

cd tweeria/dbinit
tar xfv tweeriadb.tar.gz

mongorestore

You also will need to create Tweeria user with password in MongoDB. Run mongo command to connect to your database, change the current database (use tweeria) and execute this command

db.createUser(
    {
        user: "user",
        pwd: "password",
        roles:  [{ 
            role: "readWrite", db: "tweeria" 
        }]
    }
)

Finally, we are ready to install Tweeria. First you must download the latest tweeria sources and install all the Python libraries it needs using pip

git clone https://github.com/idooo/tweeria.git
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Then you will need to create your own config file:

cd tweeria/conf
cp default.conf newconf.conf

Change there DB credentials, server settings and Twitter API keys. Please do not forget to change static files root directory tools.staticdir.root like tools.staticdir.root = "/home/ido/tweeria"

Read more about config settings in our wiki

Start Tweeria by executing loader.sh <confname> like this: ./loader.sh newconf

Then you should see in your terminal something like this:

ido@ubuntu:~/tweeria$ ./loader.sh newconf
	Killing current web server
	Start server...
	Loading conf: newconf
	Server is up now! Cya!
ido@ubuntu:~/tweeria$ > Loading newconf config for Twitter

To run parser you will need to execute service_catcher.py <confname> from the root Tweeria directory like this:

./service_catcher.py newconf

There are couple scripts included to the Tweeria package, you can find them in tools directory

./_admin.py <conf> -s <username>

After this tou should see Admin link in the user menu popup like this:

There are CSV file in import_base directory with all the static information Tweeria needs (default items, achievements, stats, dungeons and etc). If you would need to change this data in CSV files, you can use the convertor tools to update your database. Run converter.py <conf> -h to get all the possible options like this

./converter.py newconf -h
