MarvelExplorer

Uses my Ultron gem to wander from character to character through the Marvel Comics Data and drive the Twitter stream and the Website. You need to set some things up in ~/.marvel_explorer/config.yml:

twitter:
  consumer:
    key:    a_key
    secret: a_secret
  oauth:
    token:  a_token
    secret: a_nuvver_secret

marshal_file: /home/marvelexplorer/.marvel_explorer/last.character
jekyll_dir:   /home/marvelexplorer/marvelexplorer.github.io/

You also need some Ultron configuration in ~/.ultronrc:

PUBLIC_KEY: this_r_public_key
PRIVATE_KEY: this_one_r_private_key

Available commands are:

marvel_explorer update
