The article guides readers through the process of building a Pokémon game emulator that responds to text messages using Node.js, Twilio, and Lua scripting. The setup involves installing necessary software such as Wine for running the Visual Boy Advance emulator on non-Windows systems, setting up an Express app to receive incoming SMS messages, and configuring a Twilio phone number. With the Express app running behind ngrok, users can send text messages to a designated Twilio number to control their Pokémon game. The Lua scripting functionality allows for advanced features such as manipulating game memory, creating save states, and programmatically controlling button input.
