At last got time to work on this a bit more. It is now possible to send potential location of mine via direct messaging. This will avoid overcrowding your twitter page. You will still receive the response via the usual reply system.

Welcome to this new blog of Geo magic

Lets start our first post with something I implemented using PlaceMake, GeoPlanet and Twitter.

I called it GeoMineSweeper. It is a basically a MineSweeper where the minesgeominesweeper are located in places around the world. To play this game you just need to reply to GeoMineSweeper with a location you think a mine might be in. GeoMineSweeper will then reply with information on whether you found a mine or not. If you haven’t found a mine the reply will contain the distance to the closest mine.

Next step for this game is to also accept direct message. Once this has been done I will start playing with the maps api. To give player a way to find mines locations more easily.
