As a Streamer, you can let your viewers interact with your Verlet Swing game session through chat messages. To enable the Twitch integrations, follow the instructions below:
- Go to the setting menu in the game and click the tab that says “Twitch”.
- Enter you channel name and username into the corresponding fields.
- Go to http://twitchapps.com/tmi/ and generate an Oauth token (unless you already have one) and enter it into the corresponding field.
- Press the “connect” button. If the connection fails, make sure that you channel name and username are corrent and that your Oauth token starts with “oauth:”.
The integration is based on a voting system and when enabled, events will appear perodically (the events frequency can be set in the options menu) with 2-4 voting options for the viewers along with each event. Each option is represented by a number. When an event appears, viewers can vote for one of the options by typing, for example, “!vote3”, if they wish to vote for the third option. The voting lasts for 45 seconds and the event option that gets the most amount of votes will be activated for 60 seconds. The events include things like modifyng the game speed, spawning objects into the levels and altering the controls. A more detailed description can be found below. The only event where viewers can post custom messages that will appear in the game is an event that is limited to the messages “GG!” “boi!” “Cool!” and “EZ”. These messages are accompanied by a realistic and complex text-to-voice system. You can enable or disable the Twitch integration at any time during your play session by opening the settings in the pause menu.
In the settings menu, you can customize which types of events will appear by clicking the button on the right that says “show/hide configurable events”. Below you can a find description of each event group.
