What is this?
@drakeomatic is one of the most common styles of twitter bot: A Markov text generator. @drakeomatic analyzes Drake lyrics that were pulled from rapgenius.com and then constructs tweets that are sometimes insightful, sometimes funny, sometimes quotes, and sometimes often complete gibberish.
While the bot is called Drake-o-matic, it is based on the wonderful markov-text by Code Box and can learn to construct sentences after studying any body of text. So, have fun! Make your own bot! Just know that I called dibs on a Taylor Swift bot (and a Taylor Swift + Drake bot).
Requirements:
How To Use:
- Clone this repo and edit the settings in
keys.rb.example. - Assemble a corpus of text and save it in the drakeomatic directory as a plaintext file.
- Tell the bot to analyze your corpus of data using the following command:
python drakeomatic.py parse <name> <depth> <file> - Setup cron jobs to tweet at regular intervals using the following command:
python drakeomatic.py gen <name> <count> - Remember: NO TAYLOR SWIFT BOTS. Those are mine.
