Notes

• Internet is required for this application to run
• By default, each horizontal line of pixels is generated from one frame from the image buffer. To reuse a frame for more than one line (which will increase the speed of the movements on screen, but reduce the quality of the image) use the up/down arrow keys. To reset this to it's original value, press either the left or right arrow key
• To take an image (which will be sent out to the @TweetATwist2015 Twitter account, and saved in the "Pictures" folder of the Sketch) press the spacebar
• This sketch has also been set up to work with a Targus laser presentation USB remote, so that pictures can be captured without having to be near the computer
• Any tweets containing the hashtag "TweetATwist" (sent from any account) will trigger an image to be taken, and sent back to the user
