Creating a Game Using Twitter(RSS) Overview

What you'll learn

This Quickie connects to a Twitter user account feed(using RSS) and manipulates the data to create a simple fun translator game. The game is a simple French/English matching game. The goal is to match all values, if your fast enough you'll even get a score. Is there anything better then learning a few new words in french while learning to work with dynamic data?


In the process we will practice some E4X, reading RSS, security domain issues, data manipulation, and to top it all a quick fun game is our outcome.
