""" This is a Twitter bot that lets you play Zork. Props to @jenesaisdiq for inspiration and @redroselet for moral support. To play, just twitter @zorker with a Zork move. For example: '@zorker attack troll with sword' Be cautioned, though, this bot takes it's time playing, and if everyone tries to move at once it'll all fall apart.
