Twitter Sheet?

CaptFinn

I have never dealt with Twitter at any capacity. SO can someone tell me what a twitter sheet is. And a example of how you have used it in your game. How you or your user has used it. If you have a free app out there with a twitter sheet incorporated into it. Can you link me the app. I want to get a visual idea of what you do with it. Seeing examples would greatly help.

It's not all that difficult and quite a handy tool. Remember that Facebook integration is coming and supposedly using the same rule, so it would be useful to understand it now.

Basically, the Rule consists of two sections, a 'message' and an 'image' text box.

BAsically, it could be used for anything. For example, if the user beats his previous highscore, and the user wants to tweet this victory.

Rule - When score > highscore, when touch is pressed,
TweetSheet
Message:
Look! I beat my previous Highscore! MY Score is: [This is when you add your score attribute, e.g. game.score]. Try beat my score! [Link to the app store using the same link, as if you searched on google or when you press "show in app store" in itunesconnect.]


Another example is to just advertise your app. For e.g.

When touch is pressed
TweetSheet:
Message:
Play this awesome FREE game! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brendanzhong.planegamefreebz




If you want to add an image, I think you just type in the name of the image in the text box.


Hope this helped.

*Remember the character limit that twitter imposes.
*Remember also, that there is the option: 'editable by user' or something along those lines. This just allows the user to edit the message that you pre-typed in the rule.

There are programs that can track # hash tags. Using a predefined message or embedded attributes like a top score can be inbeded in the tweet. It's up to you to figure out how to use this to your advantage. In the B2B app I'm creating for Dewars we are using a predefined message with a hash tag to Gather the info onto a website.
