Trivandrum Exclusive : Free SMS Application To Get Theater Details For a Movie

I myself had several times pondered in online news sites and Google to find the theaters playing a specific movie. Google never seem to be very specific for our a local region say movies in

'Trivandrum'. Even on the drive connecting to mobile internet and search for the 'now playing' movies and their theaters is a hassle. This prompted me to use my coding skill for a day to develop an application the benefits everybody happen to go by this situation.

Bringing Back SMS To the rescue.

With WhatsApp gaining dominance, We've almost forgotten about normal SMS. But when all you require is few words answer for your 1 word query, I think SMS is the most simple and easy solution.

The service is offered for free, but standard national sms charges might apply at your end (good thing if you still do an sms offer).
Currently as the service is offered only for Trivandrum.

Yes! that's it just sms

@popcorn movie_name to 9266592665

... and you're done. You'll get the details of the theatres playing the movie in Trivandrum.

I've added a tint of intelligence to the application for understanding very common spelling mistakes and guess the right solution.

Adafruit GFX - How to change line spacing in text?

You may want to update the line spacing to be a little lower than default due to small screen size on IoT devices. I faced this challenge while working on a Watchy hobby project. You may have used a font generator or just using the default fonts and got a *.h file that has the details of the font. In that case just change the last integer value in the PROGMEM variable.
