In an attempt to make it easier to use dougdoug's TwitchPlays script, I have forked it and put everything YOU can adjust in SETUP_AND_START.py.
You don't have to touch anything within the TwitchPlays folder.
Also, you can now add configurations for multiple games. For that, just copy the template.py file in the Games folder, name it however you want and adjust the content (e.g. keywords and behaviour) to your needs.
Then, put the file name of your newly created file into the GAME_FILE_NAME variable in the SETUP_AND_START.py file. (Without the .py, e.g. GAME_FILE_NAME = "template").
You can have infinite game files and just swap between them by changing the aforementioned variable. The script has to be restarted to change the game.
These are the Python files I use that allows Twitch Chat or YouTube Chat to control your keyboard or mouse to play a game. You are welcome to use or adapt this code for your own content.
To run the code you will need to install Python 3.9 or higher.
Additionally, you will need to install the following python modules using Pip:
python -m pip install keyboard
python -m pip install pydirectinput
python -m pip install pyautogui
python -m pip install pynput
python -m pip install requests
Once Python is set up, simply change the Twitch username (or YouTube channel ID) in SETUP_AND_START.py, and you'll be ready to go.
The template game file are the original inputs from dougdoug's TwitchPlays_TEMPLATE.py file. Read "What is new in the simplified version" to learn how to add new games.
To run the script, you can simply double-click the SETUP_AND_START.py file in the Windows Explorer and open it with Python. Alternatively you can run it with an IDE (Integrated develeopment environment) such as PyCharm or Visual Studio Code. These tools also make it easier to adjust the script to your needs. For PyCharm, make sure to download the Community Edition as the Professional one will cost money.
This code is originally based off Wituz's Twitch Plays template, then expanded by DougDoug and DDarknut with help from Ottomated for the Youtube side. For now I am not reviewing any pull requests or code changes, this code is meant to be a simple prototype that is uploaded for educational purposes. But feel free to fork the project and create your own version!
