Twitch Plays - Python Script

A lightweight, customizable Python script that transforms Twitch chat into game controls, inspired by the original Twitch Plays Pokemon phenomenon. This script bridges the gap between Twitch chat and game input, allowing viewers to participate in gameplay through simple chat commands.

Key Features:

• Real-time chat command processing

• Support for directional controls (up, down, left, right)

• Multiple step movements (e.g., up2, right3)

• Game button simulation (A, B, L, R, Start, Select)

• Secure configuration using environment variables

• Cross-platform compatibility

Built with Python, TwitchIO, and pywin32, this script demonstrates how to create an interactive gaming experience where viewers become players. Perfect for streamers looking to engage their audience in a unique way.
