For your Twitter Bot, think about the procedural creativity of the Twitter bots we've looked at so far. Build a bot that you believe contributes a meaningful, original, and creative expression to the web: consider what makes some of the bots we've looked at appealing, butdo not duplicate their work.Your bot must include bothcomplex generative textandoriginal generated imageryusing SVG shapes/imagery.
As you build thecomplex generative text, think about if you want to build something poetic? Viral? Critical? Subversive? It's good practice to define your goals before you begin, and if you need a refresher or inspiration, look through theImportant Tracery Resources and Clickbait Text Generator Tutorial, practice with theCrystal Code PalaceLinks to an external site.

to create your own patterned image and to adjust the placement or position of the shapes: you might imagine sunsets or add text or layer shapes on top of existing photographs.Any of these approaches are welcome, but make sure you meet the specific requirements laid out below and in the rubric:

It's good practice to define your goals before you begin, and if you need a refresher or inspiration, look through the Important Tracery Resources and Clickbait Text Generator Tutorial, practice with the Crystal Code Palace 5, and check out the readings and resources from Weeks 5-7. To build the original generated imagery, work from the SVG Image Bot Tutorial and the w3Schools SVG Tutorial to create your own patterned image and to adjust the placement or position of the shapes: you might imagine sunsets or add text or layer shapes on top of existing photographs. Any of these approaches are welcome, but make sure you meet the specific requirements laid out below and in the rubric: Part 1: Twitter Bot e Complex Generative Text (5 points): Your generative text must be coherent, provocative, poetic, or otherwise compelling. Consider your theme and goals, as well as your interest in future work. Thematically, your imagery and text should feel connected. Your text must_include at least 10 different #symbols# in your sentence(s). » Original Generated Imagery (10 points): Your generative image must include at least 5 procedurally different SVG shapes: there should be a combination of different SVG shapes in the generated image. You may include text (overlaid as part of the image); ellipses; rectangles; gradients; triangles; circles; and other polygons or shapes. e Deploy to Cheap Bots Done Quick (1 point): You must successfully connect your grammar, without errors, to Cheap Bots Done Quick using a Twitter log-in. Make sure you activate tweeting and share the source code. Use the built-in debugger to make sure your generator is working properly before submitting. (The debugger appears in a red box when there is an error.) e Working Twitter Connection (1 point): Your bot should be successfully deploying to Twitter, with a collection of at least 10 distinct posts available to view by the time of submission. You can vary the time frame between generations to accomplish this. Submit the URL to your code on Cheap Bots Done Quick: make sure you've selected "share" at the bottom of the page when you save, and then submit the URL directly next to the share option. Do not submit the link to your live bot. Submit a screenshot of your Twitter Bot and add the screenshot to the PDF paper. This will help you in case your Twitter bot gets removed. Part 2: Twitter Bot Paper Along with your Twitter bot, you will write a 2-3 page paper (with a standard 12 point font, like Calibri or Times New Roman, and 1.5 line spacing) that discusses the process of creating a Twitter bot. In your paper, discuss the following (3 points): e What is your Twitter bot’s theme, and why did you choose the theme? e What was your intention, aims, or goals? What is the purpose of your Twitter bot? ¢ Did you find any Twitter bots inspiring as you developed your ideas and Twitter bot? e How does the generative text align with your Twitter bot’s theme? e How does the generated SVG imagery align with your Twitter bot’s theme? e What is the significance of your Twitter bot? Does it critique or contribute to a movement, an idea, or social/cultural conversation? *Please note that for this assignment, you are required to submit the PDF of your paper as an attachment and provide the URL to your Twitter Bot in the submission comments
