A community, dedicated to playing games interactively through stream chat on PeerTube.

Current Fedi Plays: Peertube Plays Chocobo Dungeon 2

Stream on pause for now: Fedi Plays Dragon Warrior: Monsters

Available commands:

Type these commands in the chat to control the game:

up/u - Move up
down/d - Move down
left/l - Move left
right/r - Move right
triangle/t - Press triangle button
square/s - Press square button
cross/x - Press cross button
circle/o - Press circle button

start - Press Start button select - Press Select button

use "x o 4" to do 4 "cross and circle" button presses. the number has to be the last character and it goes up to 15

I'm [solidheron] able to get the latency down to 7 seconds and hopefully the ability to string inputs will make fedi plays easier

How It Works

enter a command into chat
closets command to the 4 second check will get executed
Multiple viewers' inputs create chaotic and unpredictable gameplay

Thanks for the initial idea and current stream to solidheron:

You don't need an account to play.

There is delay to playing. Button commands are case sensitive at the moment. There are some quirks, like repeat commands not always working, so you have to interlace other commands that won't do anything.

the issue is with peertube chat. it only gives me down to the minute information on when a chat appears and I needed to prevent the same comment from inputting the same command, so repeated inputs in the same inputs not going through was the sacrifice.

the work around is to load the last 5 comments from chat and just see if there was a change in the last 5 comments so that way repeated commands would push out unique comments (both in content and time) making them go through, but I haven't been able to do that. on top of that doing the a4 commands helped fix the issue since "a4" and "a" are different commands.

other than that i have to put in a refresh commands for firefox browser because that cuts the programs connection to chat

Ah, that makes a lot of sense, I knew something must have been a more advanced issue, as I had noticed you did maintain the code, so it wasn't just some faults in there.

Great job, btw, this is lots of fun!
