A Twitter bot designed to help OnePlus 5 users by putting @OnePlus tweets upside down

What is this?

After seeing the OnePlus 5 upside down screens fiasco, I decided to make this bot. It will reply to every tweet by OnePlus with an upside down version of their tweet.

Requirements

• Python3, the newest the best
• Twython
• FFMPEG
• Imagemagick

This script was designed to be used on Linux, so you'll probably need that too.

Installation and Setup

• Clone this repository
• Be sure to install the requirements : install Twython with pip (pip install twython) and the other requirements with your distro's package manager.
• Follow the instructions in the config.py.example file
• Mark bot.py as executable : chmod +x bot.py

How to use

This script can be run by simply typing python3 bot.py. However, as this script checks for tweets only when it's ran, I recommend using crontab to run it at specific times. If needed, here's a tutorial on how to use the cron command : https://www.howtogeek.com/101288/how-to-schedule-tasks-on-linux-an-introduction-to-crontab-files/
