Using twitter and processing, we will create a visualization from the amount of tweets referring to certain hot-button topics, such as the Republican Nominees, Kony 2012, Occupy Wall Street, Celebrity Gossip, Snooki, Tim Tebow, etc.
The visualization will be a simulation of critters that battle for power based upon how many times their assigned topic is being tweeted.
Example parameters:
Critter anger level is determined upon how many times "War" is tweeted.
Critter reproduction rate is determined upon how many times "Snooki" is tweeted.
Food amount is determined upon how many times "McDonalds" is tweeted.
The simulation will be a playful look into what people are interested in, and possibly provide predictions for future tweets, trends, and more.
