Gamagame.
A silly twitter app that lets you track progress and productivity for your game project.
And possibly other things.

Implementation of: http://www.bananattack.com/blog/2009/03/26/the-game-making-game/

Deviations from original post:
    * Will not handle "extra" tasks.
    * Tasks can only be assigned whole-numbered amounts.
How it will be used:
    * Authorize Gamagame to track your project by giving it a twitter account and a certain project hashtag to look for.
    * Use twitter or the Gamagame webapp to post updates
How it works
    * The webapp will keep a list of users to monitor, along with their project hashtag name.
    * The backend parses updates routinely (through crontab or similar) in order to update scores, tasks, and standings.
        * The backend ignores any updates that happen within the five minute threshold of a twitter refresh to give a grace period for typos or mistaken actions.
        * For updates done directly through Gamagame, the changes should happen instantly since parsing isn't necessary.
    * The webapp uses the rules of Gamegame to give PP rewards and penalties, and to replenish action points.

It uses Twitter hashtags!
It will parse/broadcast updates of the form:
    [<message> ...] #projname <action>

For any raw twitter directive the backend doesn't understand, it'll ignore it.
When posting updates through the webapp interface, it will give meaningful errors if a user does an invalid action.

Actions:
    #task #taskname
        Creates a task with 1 point reward.
    #task1 #taskname
    #task2 #taskname
    ...
    #task10 #taskname
        Creates a task, by taking away that many action points from the user, and granting a productivity point reward of the same amount.
    #done #taskname
        Finishes a task, rewarding productivity points. Action points will be replenished in a week.
    #drop #taskname
        Drops the task with the specified name. Restores the action points allocated to that task.
    #plan #taskname
        Tracks a post as a "plan".
    #freeze
        Places the project on hold. Penalties are made less severe while in this state.
        The following tasks will cancel this state: #task, #done, or #thaw
    #thaw
        Resumes a project, escaping it from a prior frozen state.
Examples:
    Making a task worth 3 points:
        Improvin' my ability system. #pupuu #task3 #beacons
    Finishing a task:
        Abilities are like 50x more awesome now #pupuu #done #beacons
    Plannig a later feature for the project:
        This game totally needs climbable walls possible later on! #pupuu #plan
    Putting the project on hold:
        A busy week afoot, so the game's on hold for now. #pupuu #freeze
    Resuming the project:
        I'm back! And ready for action. #pupuu #thaw
