Twitch Plays Doom

twitch-plays-doom is a Python Twitch IRC bot for making RESTful calls to a copy of restful-doom.

Stream is now down for the moment. Twitch played for 4 days and made it to E01M04. There were struggles, factions, walls, god mode toggles and a giant 6 second lag that got in everyone's way but it was fantastic all the way through.

Final viewer count was ~3700 and a parse of the channel's chat logs for timespan show ~1800 people participated.

• Doom is streamed via OBS to twitch.tv
• Python subscribes to the twitch IRC channel and listens for single character commands
• HTTP REST request is sent to restful-doom to update Doom world.
• ????
• Doomguy dies.
• 8-10s lag makes this almost impossible

Commands

• "l" - left
• "r" - right
• "f" - forward
• "b" - backward
• "s" - shoot
• "d" - toggle door/activate switch/restart after death/spacebar
• "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" - change weapon

Thanks!
