Catching up with the latest AI news, I got inspired to try out some new concepts. So in this first example I’m playing with a half-finished project concerning a RPG adventure. It has some text and perhaps one day an AI will complete it for me. Until then, lets see what we can do. First …

Which is not really an example by any mean, but its as good as it gets. Firstly a few concepts: The meta data is what matters and especially the …
Trying hard to push data onto an ordinary Google Doc, but apparently it is much more common to use sheets. Other than that, the main problem was getting the OAuth2 in place. But it works. http://gspread.readthedocs.org/en/latest/oauth2.html from time import sleep from oauth2client.client import SignedJwtAssertionCredentials import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import gspread import json #Google Sheets GDOCS_CRED …
