Adobe, makers of the popular design programs Photoshop and Flash, held their FlashCamp event last week, inviting programmers from around the country to converge upon San Francisco for three days of marathon coding and White Castle runs. Normally, we wouldn't care, but awarded Best of Show at the event was this nifty game, Avenue Fighter. It scans Twitter–a popular, yet six-kinds-of-useless utility–for "tweets," or messages, containing the names of this year's presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama. AF then weighs the phrase the name is used with as positive or negative and then assigns a maneuver to their hulked-up comparisons in the game. Kudos to the programmers for Zangiefing the GOP nominee, and even throwing in the ability to pull off a Hadouken. Go 'head, make your vote really count.
