Summary

This chapter showed you how to build a game on top of the Twitter API. Combined with the push notifications Twitter provides, you have an asynchronous game of Hangman that players can play from their mobile phone. Rather than just build games on top of Twitter, you can instead expand your horizons on what pieces of the web you can use to build games. There is a tremendous number of web and mobile-accessible interaction media available, including SMS, Photo APIs, search APIs, and more, all of which you can creatively combine and remix to create innovative games.
