Websocket Troll Chests

Let's make a website layer for OBS that shows dynamic troll chests!

• Streamdeck plugin for sending web requests
  • https://apps.elgato.com/plugins/gg.datagram.web-requests
• A simple web server we can use to listen for those requests
  • https://nodejs.org/en/knowledge/HTTP/servers/how-to-create-a-HTTP-server/
• An external/cloud service for the websocket (to avoid local shenanigans)
  • https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/node-websockets#option-1-websocket

Chaos

• But, better... and automated!

Running Locally

Developed on Mac + Lando for Heroku. Lando uses Docker for a containerized set of services. No need to install node.js or npm on your machine (unless you want to of course).

1. Clone to repo.
2. Install Lando (see https://github.com/lando/lando/releases). This includes Docker Desktop.
3. In terminal, change directory to this repo root folder.
4. Run lando start (this should do everything you need).
5. Visit the URL listed in the command output.

Current Features

• Websocket connection proof-of-concept (server time is pushed to webpage via websocket)
• Add/remove chests one by one
• Clear all chests
• Click on individual chests to remove them
• Show a count of total chests on the screen
