A text-based game in a twitch stream. ChatGPT outputs something, and then twitch chat sends messages to control what happens next (one chat message gets picked at random).
Install dependencies: python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Copy .env. to .env.local, and add fill it.
You'll need:
- An openai api key https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys
- A twitch token (Bot Chat Token) https://twitchtokengenerator.com/
- Obs password: in obs, select Tools -> WebSocket Server Settings -> Show Connect Info
- Also turn on
Enable WebSocket Server, and change the port to4455.
- Also turn on
You'll also need to setup some elements in OBS.
- A text element for the subtitles. See
app.pyfor which names to use (eitherGame TextorGame Text Raidenby default). - For TTS audio: a media source named
Game TTS Audio. The source should play from file, but the app will set that setting so no need to tweak any settings there.
python3 src/app.py
You will likely need some basic python skills in order to make anything useful out of this: do not expect to turn it on and win at life.
See the vods at https://twitch.tv/timeloopgame . There's two games: a zombie game and metal gear game.
The zombie game has better gameplay, but text based games are not easy to attract people to get into. Thus I also quickly tried a MG radio scene, but the gameplay of that was too boring for me.
Mostly a good text based game will be about the prompt. I've included my prompts in the repo.
You'd want to use a good TTS and not the crappy google TTS that's currently being used. But that kind of TTS is expensive (at least elevenlabs is).
