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:

I finished up the script that controls the PS4 controller and it works good enough with one know issue. I look at the twitch plays Pokemon channel and they rotate out there games about every 10 days so I'll take down dragon quest monsters to free it up for chocobo dungeons 2. Dragon quest will be returned to on a later date.

It's just that activity on dragon quest fedi plays has been sparse.

That sounds like a great idea, might encourage more people joining, too! Will check the new current one out later.
