Fedi Plays - chat-reactive gaming on Fediverse streams

50 readers
5 users here now

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:

So, I decided to have a small OBS setup recording when I am not looking at the stream, due to "responsibilities" or "having to sleep to survive" or "doing something worthwhile" or weird things like that. It records in choppy FPS, just so to catch any big things happening. This will/is planned to become a regular report of interesting things happening.

At around 01:00 CET an ominous user named "test" joined the game, stayed true to their name and tested, but seems to have tested quite suspiciously large, potentially game breaking numbers.

This suspicion of mischief proved true, when we can see them, shortly thereafter, setting the text speed to the slowest value before vanishing again:

A few hours later, the stream goes down for a short time, and solidheron provides us with a new update. Thank you!

A potential new error could also mean potentially new fun interactions, but in general, I think this is a good change and workaround for the limitations of what the script can get from the chat!

Other than that, we get user "left" as a new (or potentially recurring) player, sticking our dick into another hole full of treasure, when the script ominously starts chanting for the browser to refresh.

And this is, as of this post, the situation, some new cool updates, some tests, a troll testing the waters, and our DICK stuck in a hole!

I capped the repeat command repeated button presses at 15. Funny seeing 9999. And that's funny that they changed the text speed
