25 Lines - SMS Dice Bag

A Twilio application that serves as the Dungeon Master's SMS companion, providing a text interface to random dice rolling.

[] (http://travis-ci.org/RobSpectre/25-Lines-SMS-Dicebag)

Summary

A little stressed out one afternoon in the office, I decided to whip up another Twilio 25-liner like the SMS Weather I put together earlier in the week. Same rules applied here as the weather app, and I gave myself 50 total minutes to complete:

It had to do something significant. Couldn't be something silly like Laughotron.
Start to finish in no more than 25 lines, including whitespace.
It had to pass my PEP8 vim plugin. No crazy single-line, more than 80 column shenanigans.
Application had to be code complete by the time Super Marios Brothers alarm clock went off.
It must withstand a reasonable amount of poor user input - no brittleware.

To accomplish this, I busted out the Twilio Hackpack for Heroku and Flask and my second ed DMG.
