Auto SMS Game

Hello all! I was wondering if it would be possible, to make something that people could send an SMS to play a text based adventure RPG. The first thing I was thinking, is that a user would enter their phone number on a webpage. The site would then submit their phone number to a mysql database, along with starting HP, Attack, Defense, ect. The player could then play the game, and some of the users info would be stored in the mysql database. Would this be possible? If so, how would I do it? Can you provide sample code? If not, are there any other ways it would be possible?

Re: Auto SMS Game

I've heard of something called Asterisk, but I'm not sure what it runs on and their website is a pain in the ███ to read, but I found something for processing / java.


bye 1.4, we all loved you. but we all outgrew the site. 2.0 is a welcome change.

I just now got around to looking far into this. From what I can tell, Asterisk is only for voip, and can not be used for SMS.

Any one else have any ideas?

Re: Auto SMS Game

I found this really cool website called Tropo that seems to do almost exactly what I want. It mixes php with their api to send text messages, and even phone calls.
