@FPAdventuresBot is a Twitter account that regularly posts screenshots from first-person, point-and-click adventure games. Images are randomly selected from a pool, pre-extracted from original game data files. The bot source code is available on GitHub:

https://github.com/greg-kennedy/FPAdventuresBot

It uses Twitter::API to manage file uploads and posting to Twitter. For some games, I have written custom tools to extract images. Source code for these is in the tools/ subdirectory. There are also some audit scripts in the main folder to find duplicate images or solid-color images. These use Image::PNG::Libpng for working with PNG images.
