GTWhistler

This bot automates tweets at the times the Georgia Tech whistle sounds, including:

• The regular daily schedule
• Football game scores
• When The Whistle Blows

(It also responds to DMs at next whistle time, like a personal reminder.)

Let me know if the schedule is wrong at any point!

Notes:

• "Images" holds the original images and modified ones for use in the account as well as a document linking to their sources.
• "Deploy" holds instructions to run the program as a service on the Raspberry Pi as well as information explaining how it works.
• "ExampleData" holds JSON files that contain useful information required for the bot to run. Sensitive data is removed. (Normally these are to be in the same directory as the Python code.)
• "exampleConfig.json" is largely empty but is filled out on the Raspberry Pi for security reasons.
• "exampleFootball.json" shows how data is saved for a mid-season 2016 football schedule
• "exampleSchedule.json" shows an example schedule used by the bot to know when to tweet. (At time of writing it is identical to what is currently used.)
• "exampleStorage.json" shows how data is stored for use between instances of running the bot.
