OUTDATED

This post is outdated

Go to this link for updated version:

Below are my notes

[1] According to Wikipedia, Demiurge is an artisan-like figure responsible for fashioning and maintaining the physical universe. Although a fashioner, the demiurge is not necessarily the same as the creator figure in the monotheistic sense, because the demiurge itself and the material from which the demiurge fashions the universe are both considered consequences of something else. Depending on the system, they may be considered either uncreated and eternal or the product of some other entity.

[2] Huge tangent here so skip if you're not interested. So when I was trying to go frame by frame in VLC I looked up a guide online, and apparently you can only go frame by frame forward and not backward, and I scrolled downward to see the comments, and one guy was so pissed at it and it's so funny. I'll but the comment here

"For Heavens Sakes People. We are sending Astronauts to space. We have taken photos of the Entire KNOWN universe, we have AI Chatbots and You bunch of Losers CANT even freakin get to make a < Back One Frame button on VLC Player ????

This is SUCH a total Bullcrap B.S. Dont give us stupid lame excuses anymore. If its SOOOO god damned hard to get some coding done, then for heavens sake GET AN AI BOT to do it For you !!! What's so hard ???

All the USERS has been asking for this for So long. Whats really TAKING you so long to respond to some SMALL requests thingy ???? VLC has been pouring out with SO many versions, Patches. WHY cant they just GIVE THIS by the next Update ??? IT IS 2023…23 Years since 2020… are you all still that blind and ignorant ?"

[3] The text in the bottom left seems to be system log.First line, "δημιουργός" seems to be the user of the cmd, ran the tailf command. I am not a no life linux user so I can only search it online. Seems to be a command that print out the last 10 lines of a file and wait for it to grow??. Apparently useful for monitoring log files and not spamming the console, likely just monitoring what is going on when it's starting up.

for "δημιουργός", according to Wikitionary, it's one who works for the people, a skilled workman, handicraftsman, the maker of the world. (damn that's rad)

Second line, April 7 02:34:70 Ixtab disabled Αμβροσία, Ixtab is explained below. "Αμβροσία", according to Wiki again, is the food or drink of Greek gods. Nice job starving gods I guess lmao. Also worth noting the time is 70 seconds, no idea what that means.

Third line deleted a user called "Ixtab", which is also present on the second line. "Ixtab" is apparently a Maya goddness of suicide by hanging. She would accompany such suicides to heaven (source: Wikipedia)(I love you wikipedia)(Also she looks like a hammer wtf)(Sorry Ixtab I guess I'll see you later in life).

I wrote the third line before the second line, the server immediately deleted Ixtab after like a minute lmao RIP

fourth line, 7 hours later, Eve is still logged in(great to know!)

fifth line, δημιουργός cd to Eve's attribute

sixth line, δημιουργός ls -l to Αμβροσία(the food Ixtab disabled), "ls -l" is just a command to list complete information of the files.

seventh line, Eve exist!(yay)

Eighth line, δημιουργός ran "chmod -v a-w Αμβροσία" and succeeded, chmod is a command that changes the file permission of a file, the subject being Αμβροσία. -v is the Verbose option, which "output a diagnostic message for every file process", I think it just means if it change a file's permission it prints a message. a-w is what permission you want to set. for example u-r would be allowing 'u'ser to 'r'ead the file, w is write, x is execute. There's only 'u'ser, 'g'roup, and 'o'ther as subject, so 'a' is probably 'a'μβροσία

line 10 i think idk i forgor, δημιουργός ran "usermod -g deity eve", usermod change the properties of a user, -g means group, deity is the group name, and eve is the user to change.(eve is god now)(rad

[4] Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance is the 5 stages of grief

[5] Probably ties in with Ixtab? idk me brain smol

[6] lmao deity got rejected

[7] "繧キ繧ｹ繝?B", ok so you may see this sometimes in obscure japanese (usually music) videos, they are garbles generated from transcripting text in one format(e.g. ascii) to a different format(e.g. utf-8). English wouldn't have this problem because utf is just built on top of ascii, but for other language like japanese, chinese etc it can cause errors like these which is incomprehensible. There is a total of 3 videos on the channel as of writing, and I believe some of them actually mean something and I will try to decode them, but I'm not perfect and I'm stupid. BUT I believe this one is supposed to be unreadable.

[8] same thing, probably not supposed to be readable.

[9] AHA, I GOT YOU, "縺励※縺上口縺輔>" is originally a UTF-8 encoded code, encoded in Shift_JIS(another japanese character encoding system), if you convert it back to UTF-8 format, it becomes "してく��さ�>", which translates to "Please do so>" or in trad-chinese "請這樣做>"

[10] ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[11] I know I haven't been reading the lyrics and guessing the lore, as I've said I'm stupid and can never do that. But at least I know the one saying this is probably able to read the console, uhhh, yeah idk maybe after I've done this for all 3 videos I'll be able to know what's going on.

[12] Traditional chinese version is god but I think it works either way.

[13] I don't think the original lyrics had subject(I) into it, but what do I know I'm just a brainlet using Google Translate

[14] So funny thing, when I was translating this sentence, the AI I was using went wrong and keep printing "why, " over and over again, kinda ironic

[15] Okay, well now we know that the singer(protagonist), is probably Ixtab due to whatever happened in the start(Eve be granted deity group/access), and the anomaly is probably Αμβροσία, as it is granted write access to itself. and Ixtab got yeeted out of the system

[16] I think the singer(protagonist) and the text is different person, protagonist being Αμβροσία and the text being Ixtab.

[17] I'm sorry, I tried, I try to fix the sentence, but there's like 3 variation of the same character, just different in size, I don't even think I decoded anything comprehensible, just... just ignore it.

Ending note: I am ded, see you next video(again, not gonna happen)

Hi, this is posted on my tumblr because youtube flagged my original comment on the video as spam. So I'm just gonna put it here. Even though tumblr has a 4096 character limit at least there's less aggressive censorship

The video in question:

youtube

Hi, this is me after writing this entire comment. this is so painful that I am going to the Mariana Trench and drown myself. Anyway. Below contains the lyrics and (most of the)text on screen(I tried)(also some analysis by me). I wrote this because there doesn't seem to be anyone else doing the exactly same thing, and also there's is barely any english or any other language at all here. The translations are done by using Google Translte, ChatGPT 3.5 turbo, and my own brain(not trustworthy).

Translation will be provided like this:

(The original text)

((optional)japanese translation)

(traditional chinese translation)

(english translation)

[note by me](scroll down to see it)

I will probably do the same for the other 2 videos(not gonna happen now), at least in this week.so, finally, as a non-english-mother-tongue person, sorry for bad english.

Reptilicus

Image © William Stout

[It’s been a while since “movie monsters” and “Halloween” lined up on my schedule. This is going to be the next theme block for a while--I’m planning through the end of October and into November.

Would you believe there’s a Danish kaiju movie? Reptilicus was made in Denmark in English (sort of--the actors spoke their line phonetically) for an American market, and the finished product is... something. Reptilicus himself is a marionette, filmed on a camera so undercranked it resembles a slide show. The special effects for him eating someone involve his victim being replaced by a still image, superimposed into his mouth with animation. And the shots of him flying were so unconvincing even by these standards that they were cut from the American release. It’s a hoot and a half, well worth checking out for the dedicated lover of trash. It was the featured movie in the first episode of the MST3K reboot, an honor it deserves, although I still would recommend the uncut version over the one with Jonah and the Bots. For one thing, MST3K cuts out the lengthy interlude that seemingly exists only to advertise Copenhagen as a tourist attraction, complete with an original song!]

Reptilicus CR 21 CN Dragon This creature is a serpentine dragon, with large scales and a slimy cast to its hide. It has four short, clawed legs, and a pair of fan-like wings protruding above its forelimbs. Its face is twisted into a perpetual snarling visage.

A reptilicus is an animalistic aquatic dragon, most dangerous because of its incredible regenerative ability. A reptilicus can recover from wounds at remarkable speed, and fire and cold slow this regeneration down but do not necessarily stop it. A reptilicus switches between frenzied activity and deep torpor, feeding on huge quantities of meat until it is sated, and then returning to the depths of the ocean to sleep. A reptilicus is as comfortable on land as it is in the water, and so may come to the surface to feed on people and livestock if it tires of whales and fish.

Reptilicuses are barely sapient, but seem to enjoy destroying buildings, ships and other large manufactured items out of the sheet joy of breaking things. They use this in combat primarily in order to target flaming swords, magic wands and staves, and other items capable of dealing fire or cold damage. Enemies that keep their distance are sprayed with its sticky acidic breath, and any that come close are eaten. A reptilicus does have strong claws, but they have short reach compared to its jaws and tail.

The reptilicus is an asexual creature; it reproduces not through traditional means, but from damage. If a significant chunk of its body is torn away, it will regrow into an entire new organism. As such, reptilicuses that are older and well fed may intentionally antagonize creatures that are capable of actually hurting them, such as true dragons, sea monsters, and powerful adventurers, in the hopes of calving off an offspring. For whatever reason, few reptilicuses mutilate themselves to achieve such effects.

Reptilicus CR 21 XP 409,600 CN Colossal dragon (aquatic) Init +4; Senses blindsense 60 ft., darkvision 120 ft., Perception +22, scent Aura frightful presence (180 ft., DC 25) Defense AC 36, touch 2, flat-footed 36 (-8 Dex, +34 natural) hp 410 (20d12+280); regeneration 20 (cold, fire) Fort +26, Ref +14, Will +18 DR 20/magic; Immune acid, charm, compulsion, fear; SR 32 Defensive Abilities ferocity, improved regeneration Offense Speed 50 ft., swim 100 ft., fly 100 ft.

a really nice anon requested a gif sharpening tutorial (referring to this gifset) and I’m only too happy to oblige! First off, I’d like to credit this tutorial for the base sharpen settings and PiXimperfect on YouTube for this sharpening tutorial and action - I can’t explain the principles as well as he does, so please do watch the video! For more gifsets from me, see my sideblog here.

You’ll need:

Any version of Photoshop with Timeline - I’m using CC 2018 (I’m currently exploring the version without timeline, send me an ask if you’re interested and I can update you).

Basic giffing knowledge. I currently use the load files into stack method, but most gifmakers I know use the video timeline method. Here’s a good giffing tutorial by @marysberry and another good giffing and coloring tutorial by @bestmistake.

As an aside, the best thing I’ve discovered through this is that you can make gifs out of higher-end 480p quality gifs. See this set from a bootl*g I got online. They won’t be as amazing as 4k or 1080p gifs, but they’re great for stuff where you really cannot get the best quality. This point clarifies that you do not need a 2160p or memory-heavy 1080p video in order to use this sharpening method.

Difficulty: ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ if doing manually, ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ if using the actions. This works best with portrait shots, i.e. a gif focusing on about one to three people as this sharpening tool really benefits the outline of the subjects more than anything else.

The rest of the tutorial is (very screenshot heavy and) under the cut!

[1] Making your GIF (ft. Jonathan Bailey)

Make your gif through whatever method gets you to the video timeline. Just your usual - and if you have a regular sharpening that works relatively fine, you can use it here and skip [2]. Here’s what your layers tab, timeline tab, and working GIF may look like without any other edits:

[2] OPTIONAL: Smart Sharpen your GIF

For those who don’t have a regular sharpening... routine, this is how I do my basic sharpening. I will be using two different sharpens in this portion. Click on ‘Filter’ and find Sharpen. Hover your mouse on it and look for Smart Sharpen (shown below):

Click on it, and the window below should open. The first one I use is 500%, 0.3px, and Remove Gaussian Blur, but feel free to experiment as you wish:

the second smart sharpen I use is 10%, 10px, and Remove Gaussian Blur. Again, feel free to experiment. The ending GIF should be shown with the label “Smart Sharpen x2�� towards the end of this tutorial:

[3] Use what I call the “Vivid Sharpen” to further sharpen your GIFS

Normally you’d stop at [2] and be ready to post or do whatever else with your GIF. I do this extra sharpen because not all GIFs look great when posted here (particularly those downloaded off YT, bilibili, dailymotion, what have you, or bootl*gs as mentioned above). I got a relatively nice-looking video, but this will still help make the gif look sharper.

First off, duplicate your GIF layer twice. I use the Right Click on Layer and Click Duplicate Layer method because it works best for my timeline, but a good old Ctrl+J on Windows (Cmd+J on Mac if I’m not mistaken) should work. Just make sure all three layers are aligned like so:

Turn off the visibility of the uppermost layer (mpv-shot0090.png copy 2 here; see below) Click on the second layer (mpv-shot0090.png copy in this case) and change its blending mode to Overlay. This is what the layer should look like:

Now turn the topmost layer (mpv-shot0090.png copy 2) back on. Invert the layer by clicking Ctrl+I (that’s I, not L). This is what it should look like:

Now change the blending mode of this layer to Vivid Light. See results below:

Now click on Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur above. A window opens asking for the pixel amount. I usually enter in 3.0px but again, feel free to experiment. The GIF may now look overly sharpened, like so:

Group together the topmost layer and the layer just below that. This is important. I usually just highlight both layers and click on the folder icon at the bottom right corner. Once both layers are grouped together, set the group’s blending mode to overlay. This will remove the yellow spots you see above.

This is the last step for this version of sharpening. Set the opacity level of your sharpening group to what you think looks good. For 1080p source videos, I usually go for between 30-40% (I’m using 40% in the one below) opacity, but feel free to adjust according to what you like! For the 480p gifset I linked above, I used around 70%, give or take.

Here are the different results based on the sharpenings I did!

The only thing this last gif would require, in my opinion, is some coloring brighten everything up, but other than that, Jonny Bailey looks pretty crisp! This marks the end of a very long tutorial, which only takes a few seconds using the two sources I credited above (smart sharpens and vivid sharpening). Do let me know if you have other gif-related questions; send them either to me or @vaganov, my edits sideblog. Thank you!

How do you keep yourself motivated to write/ get out of a writing slump?

Anon out here asking the real questions. Damn. Okay. Here we go.

Ways to fight the writing slump!

There are a million ways to fight writer's block, and not all of them are going to work for you. These are some that work for me! I wasn't sure if you meant of "no ideas" or "ideas but no motivation," so I tried to include some stuff that's helpful for both.

Try a writing sprint!

This is the "just fucking write anyway" method. A sprint is when you set a timer and say, "For x period of time, I will do y and only y." You can do this with writing! I believe Discord has a few different types of sprint bots for this, or you can literally just set a timer. Your goal isn't to write "as much as possible" during this time, necessarily—it's just to write and only fucking write. Don't do anything else. Don't check your phone. Don't change tabs. Need to research this one part? Put "[research later]" for now and use Ctrl/Cmd+F the "[" to find the spot later. Twenty or thirty minute sprints usually work best for me personally, but if your goal is just to Get Started, try out a five minute sprint! And remember that you can always edit later. One foot in front of the other: Just write one word and then the next.

Read a book!

Or a fic, or an audiobook, or a comic book, or a watch a TV show, or a play a video game, or listen to music ... Consume some fucking media, you coward. But! It's probably best to go for a book. I make the mistake a lot (including currently) of thinking "if I have the time to read, I'd rather be writing." But honestly? I'm always more motivated to write, and more confident about my writing, if I'm reading something I like. I'll be, like, "oh shit, I wouldn't have thought of that!" or, "it's really cool how the author did this," or even, "hm, I would have done that differently." Reading is learning to write, as well as you get to read some cool fucking stories.

If reading feels like a lot right now, that's okay! Other media can be an exercise on storytelling as well! And you don't have to go into it with the mindset of "I have to analyze this." You should still primarily consume media just to enjoy it, in my opinion. But when you find yourself thinking "don't like that" about that one scene you just saw—why didn't you like it? What would you have done differently? You could even write a fic where you change it!

Talk it out with a friend!

This is one of my main strategies. If I'm not sure where I'm going with a story, or if I lose motivation on it, I'll talk about the plot or premise with one of my friends. It can help rekindle that spark that made you want to write it in the first place, especially if the friend gets hyped about it too. Your friend doesn't even have to have been reading the story, or be in the fandom, or know anything about the content at all! In fact, your friend can be yourself, or your stuffed animal.

I was a computer engineering major for a while in university, and there's a method in computer programming called "Rubber Duck Debugging." Basically, the idea is that you put a rubber duck on your desk, and when your code doesn't work? You tell your little ducky friend why your code should be working, because you did everything right, even remembered to—oh. Oh shit. You put an OR instead of an XOR operator. Thanks, rubber ducky!

My point with this is that your friends don't need to even respond for this to work. But the idea of talking it out with someone—even if it's the rubber ducky on your desk—will often help you figure out what you need to do. I've even copy-pasted messages (or screenshots of messages) from DMs with friends into my planning documents for stories.

If your friend really wants to help out, usually the best thing they can do is to ask questions. You can also ask yourself questions, or pretend that your rubber duck or stuffed animal is asking! Sharing your writing (especially in the early stages) can be a very intimate thing, so don't feel pressured to share if you're not comfortable. Ask yourself the questions! I start with, "So it's a fic where Eiji is a fortuneteller and Ash is a skeptic who doesn't believe in magic." Okay, now I ask, "Why doesn't Ash believe in magic?" or "Whose POV is it?" or "Is magic well known in this world?" or "Do they already know each other?" and now we're getting somewhere!

Honestly? Just take a fucking break.

Either from that specific project, or from writing entirely. It sucks, but sometimes it's just not gonna happen. Take a nap. Drink some water. Do something else. Step away from it for a while, and come back to it with a fresh mind. A big part of this method is don't feel bad for not writing. I'm horrible at that part. But to be frank with you all, before I got into fanfiction and back when I was only writing original fiction, I would go months without writing sometimes. Sometimes, like, six months at a time. And yeah, it fucking sucked, but you know what? Now I can look back on that and say, "I didn't write for six months, and I was able to come back from it. I'm a better writer now than I was then, so any progress that I may have lost, I was able to make up. It wasn't forever." And whether it's been a few days or a few years for you or whatever, that's okay. It's okay to take a break.

General reminders

It doesn't have to be perfect, especially on the first draft!

You're not going to write unless you ... actually write. Pull up a word document or notebook and just write something. I have an ongoing joke with a friend that when I don't know how to start a fic, I just type "Ash" and go from there.

Be kind to yourself! Don't feel bad if it doesn't work out.

If you don't like how it turns out, you don't have to share it. This one can be just for you. That might take some of the pressure off.

Whatever your first thought for how to start is, write it down. Even if you don't like it. You can change it when you proofread, and a lot of times when you go back to reread, it's actually not as bad as you thought it was.

Finally ... please take care of yourself, as much as is within your control. There's catharsis in art, definitely, but writing will often be harder if you're struggling in other areas of your life.

Hope this helps! <3

Instagram Bot Autofollow And Autolike

What it takes:

Firefox Why do I use Firefox? Because the chrome web driver for selenium is not already support. This time we will use Firefox. Use the latest Firefox

Instagram Account

Python. I'm using the latest version of Python. You can download it at python.org Download with default settings.

The driver This application as a bridge for selenium and browser. Download the app here

Selenium To customize the Shell browser

Notepad + + I use Notepad + + because it is lightweight and simple. It's up to you to wear which Jupiter or Visual Studio is using.

Previously you have to know how Selenium works as Auto-follow Auto like Instagram Bot. If you open the browser and fill in the email data and password. Then you will be taken to the feed. Well to find the user you will type in the search field and write the hashtag as your main category. And you follow and like the posts that are in that category. The process that surely requires patience is certainly the last process that is when you search for posts and follow-up that correspond to your hashtag. In this section we will install Instagram autofollow bot. Likewise with autolike bots. The working system is the same.

Install Selenium

Open cmd with Run as Administrator. Go into the Scripts folder directory in Python that you have installed. We will open the Pip app. In the case mine is in C:Users\Willi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts then type use the Change directory (CD) command CD C:Users\Willi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts Then install Selenium Install PIP. exe Selenium Wait until the process finishes.

Install Geckodriver

It's easy, just extract the driver file you've downloaded to your Python folder. Then try TestRun by creating a file in Notepad + +

Install InstaPy

In CMD make sure you are in directory C:Users\Willi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts Then type Install the PIP. exe instapy Wait until the process finishes. After that upgrade Clarifai. If not upgraded will not be able! How to type: Python-m pip install – Upgrade Clarifai Finished.

TestRun Instagram Bot with Quickstart

Write the following code in Notepad + + save in. py form. For username and password fill with your Instagram account.

from instapy import InstaPy

InstaPy(username="username_anda", password="password_anda").login() Run the program and now you have your own instagram bot

May repost at a later date. Some explanations: "Digital physics is grounded in one or more of the following hypotheses; listed in order of increasing strength. The physical world: is essentially informational is essentially computable can be described digitally is in essence digital is itself a computer is the output of a simulated reality exercise" "A central processing unit (CPU) is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions. (Basically a computer's brain)" "In computing, a denial-of-service (DoS) or distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users." "Ever wonder what that "degauss" button on your monitor does besides make a buzzing noise and cause the screen to go crazy for a second? Though that's its main purpose, the degauss button has another useful feature. To understand it, you'll first need to know that the earth has natural magnetic fields. The magnetic charges from these fields can build up inside your monitor, causing a loss of color accuracy. Degaussing scares the bad magnetism out of the monitor and fills it with good karma. If your monitor doesn't have a degauss button, fear not -- many new monitors automatically degauss themselves. If you have a flat-panel display, there is no degauss button because magnetism doesn't build up in flat screen displays." "A graphics processor unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display."

Pygame and AsyncIO Part V: Twitch Integration

In the last part of this tutorial sequence, we will implement twitch.tv integration in a pygame game. If you have previously thought that all this async stuff was a bit too elaborate for too little gain, then you might be pleasantly surpised by a real-world example of two-way online interaction. This is not exactly netcode for a fighting game, or a MMORPG, or a lock-step simulation you can use in an RTS game or a MOBA, but it is what asyncio is good for.

To run the examples, you need pygame, python 3.6, asyncio, and the irc module (https://pypi.org/project/irc/). Install it with python3 -m pip install irc

Some of the code in here will be twitch-specific, but twitch chat is based on good old IRC, and you can take out these bits and add chat interaction with any IRC network if you want to. Also, I won’t explain to you how to stream your gameplay to twitch, but I used OBS to test out my examples and they work.

Twitch Plays Wormy.py

This is based on https://inventwithpython.com/pygame/chapter6.html.

import pygame import asyncio import irc, irc.client_aio import sys if len(sys.argv)!=3: print("please get a twitch auth token from https://twitchapps.com/tmi/") sys.exit(1) username=sys.argv[1] token=sys.argv[2] irc_pw=token.strip() irc_user=username.strip() assert(irc_pw.startswith("oauth:"))

To start the game, you pass your twitch username to the game, like so python3 game.py myusername oauth:tokenstringfromtwitch You can get the IRC password from this oauth token generator here. If you are using another IRC network, you might want to change the code here already.

Let’s continue with the code. In the next part, we set up the IRC connecting and message handling

We create an IRC client now, and add callbacks for chat events:

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() bot=AsyncIRC(loop) def run_once(loop): loop.call_soon(loop.stop) loop.run_forever() @bot.command("left") def command_left(connection, event): pygame.event.post( pygame.event.Event(pygame.KEYDOWN, key=pygame.K_LEFT, unicode=None, mod=None)) @bot.command("right") def command_right(connection, event): pygame.event.post( pygame.event.Event(pygame.KEYDOWN, key=pygame.K_RIGHT, unicode=None, mod=None)) @bot.command("up") def command_right(connection, event): pygame.event.post( pygame.event.Event(pygame.KEYDOWN, key=pygame.K_UP, unicode=None, mod=None)) @bot.command("down") def command_right(connection, event): pygame.event.post( pygame.event.Event(pygame.KEYDOWN, key=pygame.K_DOWN, unicode=None, mod=None)) @bot.command("newgame") def command_left(connection, event): pygame.event.post( pygame.event.Event(pygame.KEYUP, key=pygame.K_SPACE, unicode=None, mod=None)) @bot.handle("pubmsg") def on_pubmsg(connection, event): content=event.arguments[0] parse_tags(event) bot.msgs.append(f"{event.display_name}: {content}") print("#", bot.msgs)

The first five handlers translate chat commands into pygame events, while the last one takes every chat message and logs the logs the content into a list. This way we can display chat history in the game.

Now we can connect to the IRC like so:

bot.connect(server='irc.chat.twitch.tv', nickname=irc_user, password=irc_pw, join_channel="#"+irc_user)

and when we call run_once(loop), then the whole async IRC machinery will start looking for messages, handle them if there are any, and return.

Here comes the actual game part, based on wormy:

# Wormy (a Nibbles clone) # By Al Sweigart [email protected] # http://inventwithpython.com/pygame # Released under a "Simplified BSD" license # some IRC features added by Robert Pfeiffer import random, pygame, sys from pygame.locals import * FPS = 15 WINDOWWIDTH = 640 WINDOWHEIGHT = 480 CELLSIZE = 20 assert WINDOWWIDTH % CELLSIZE == 0, "Window width must be a multiple of cell size." assert WINDOWHEIGHT % CELLSIZE == 0, "Window height must be a multiple of cell size." CELLWIDTH = int(WINDOWWIDTH / CELLSIZE) CELLHEIGHT = int(WINDOWHEIGHT / CELLSIZE) # R G B WHITE = (255, 255, 255) BLACK = ( 0, 0, 0) RED = (255, 0, 0) GREEN = ( 0, 255, 0) DARKGREEN = ( 0, 155, 0) DARKGRAY = ( 40, 40, 40) BGCOLOR = BLACK UP = 'up' DOWN = 'down' LEFT = 'left' RIGHT = 'right' HEAD = 0 # syntactic sugar: index of the worm's head def main(): global FPSCLOCK, DISPLAYSURF, BASICFONT, CHATFONT pygame.init() FPSCLOCK = pygame.time.Clock() DISPLAYSURF = pygame.display.set_mode((WINDOWWIDTH, WINDOWHEIGHT)) BASICFONT = pygame.font.Font('freesansbold.ttf', 18) CHATFONT = pygame.font.Font('freesansbold.ttf', 8) pygame.display.set_caption('Wormy') showStartScreen() while True: runGame() showGameOverScreen()

Here, CHATFONT was added to the original wormy game to display chat in a different font.

In the game loop, we added chat messages when a new game is started, and we now call run_once(loop) before clock.tick(), like in the previous examples. To make the game playable with streaming lag (chat will usually be way ahead of the stream), the variable keydown_this_frame will ensure that the game state is only advanced when either a key has been pressed, or a keypress has been sent over a chat command.

def runGame(): bot.broadcast("new game") bot.broadcast(">UP >DOWN >LEFT >RIGHT to play") # Set a random start point. startx = random.randint(5, CELLWIDTH - 6) starty = random.randint(5, CELLHEIGHT - 6) wormCoords = [{'x': startx, 'y': starty}, {'x': startx - 1, 'y': starty}, {'x': startx - 2, 'y': starty}] direction = RIGHT # Start the apple in a random place. apple = getRandomLocation() while True: # main game loop keydown_this_frame=False for event in pygame.event.get(): # event handling loop if event.type == QUIT: terminate() elif event.type == KEYDOWN: keydown_this_frame=True if (event.key == K_LEFT or event.key == K_a) and direction != RIGHT: direction = LEFT elif (event.key == K_RIGHT or event.key == K_d) and direction != LEFT: direction = RIGHT elif (event.key == K_UP or event.key == K_w) and direction != DOWN: direction = UP elif (event.key == K_DOWN or event.key == K_s) and direction != UP: direction = DOWN elif event.key == K_ESCAPE: terminate() if keydown_this_frame: # BEGIN MOVEMENT CODE # check if the worm has hit itself or the edge if wormCoords[HEAD]['x'] == -1 or wormCoords[HEAD]['x'] == CELLWIDTH or wormCoords[HEAD]['y'] == -1 or wormCoords[HEAD]['y'] == CELLHEIGHT: return # game over for wormBody in wormCoords[1:]: if wormBody['x'] == wormCoords[HEAD]['x'] and wormBody['y'] == wormCoords[HEAD]['y']: return # game over # check if worm has eaten an apply if wormCoords[HEAD]['x'] == apple['x'] and wormCoords[HEAD]['y'] == apple['y']: # don't remove worm's tail segment apple = getRandomLocation() # set a new apple somewhere bot.broadcast("apple eaten") else: del wormCoords[-1] # remove worm's tail segment # move the worm by adding a segment in the direction it is moving if direction == UP: newHead = {'x': wormCoords[HEAD]['x'], 'y': wormCoords[HEAD]['y'] - 1} elif direction == DOWN: newHead = {'x': wormCoords[HEAD]['x'], 'y': wormCoords[HEAD]['y'] + 1} elif direction == LEFT: newHead = {'x': wormCoords[HEAD]['x'] - 1, 'y': wormCoords[HEAD]['y']} elif direction == RIGHT: newHead = {'x': wormCoords[HEAD]['x'] + 1, 'y': wormCoords[HEAD]['y']} wormCoords.insert(0, newHead) #END MOVEMENT CODE DISPLAYSURF.fill(BGCOLOR) drawGrid() drawWorm(wormCoords) drawApple(apple) drawScore(len(wormCoords) - 3) pygame.display.update() run_once(loop) FPSCLOCK.tick(FPS)

Logic to read IRC and run the event loop was added to the other game screens, and to the game termination function:

def terminate(): while len(asyncio.Task.all_tasks(loop)): run_once(loop) pygame.event.pump() loop.shutdown_asyncgens() loop.close() print("Thank you for playing!") pygame.quit() sys.exit() def getRandomLocation(): return {'x': random.randint(0, CELLWIDTH - 1), 'y': random.randint(0, CELLHEIGHT - 1)} def showGameOverScreen(): gameOverFont = pygame.font.Font('freesansbold.ttf', 150) gameSurf = gameOverFont.render('Game', True, WHITE) overSurf = gameOverFont.render('Over', True, WHITE) gameRect = gameSurf.get_rect() overRect = overSurf.get_rect() gameRect.midtop = (WINDOWWIDTH / 2, 10) overRect.midtop = (WINDOWWIDTH / 2, gameRect.height + 10 + 25) bot.broadcast("game over") DISPLAYSURF.blit(gameSurf, gameRect) DISPLAYSURF.blit(overSurf, overRect) drawPressKeyMsg() pygame.display.update() pygame.time.wait(500) checkForKeyPress() # clear out any key presses in the event queue while True: run_once(loop) if checkForKeyPress(): pygame.event.get() # clear event queue return

In drawScore, we also draw the last 3 lines of chat. in a small font. This way you know how big the lag in the stream is, and whose last chat command is currently shown on the screen.

def drawScore(score): scoreSurf = BASICFONT.render('Score: %s' % (score), True, WHITE) scoreRect = scoreSurf.get_rect() scoreRect.topleft = (WINDOWWIDTH - 120, 10) DISPLAYSURF.blit(scoreSurf, scoreRect) topleft=scoreRect.bottomleft for msg in bot.msgs[-3:]: IRCSurf = CHATFONT.render(msg, True, WHITE) IRCRect = IRCSurf.get_rect() IRCRect.topleft = topleft topleft= IRCRect.bottomleft DISPLAYSURF.blit(IRCSurf, IRCRect) def drawWorm(wormCoords): for coord in wormCoords: x = coord['x'] * CELLSIZE y = coord['y'] * CELLSIZE wormSegmentRect = pygame.Rect(x, y, CELLSIZE, CELLSIZE) pygame.draw.rect(DISPLAYSURF, DARKGREEN, wormSegmentRect) wormInnerSegmentRect = pygame.Rect(x + 4, y + 4, CELLSIZE - 8, CELLSIZE - 8) pygame.draw.rect(DISPLAYSURF, GREEN, wormInnerSegmentRect) def drawApple(coord): x = coord['x'] * CELLSIZE y = coord['y'] * CELLSIZE appleRect = pygame.Rect(x, y, CELLSIZE, CELLSIZE) pygame.draw.rect(DISPLAYSURF, RED, appleRect) def drawGrid(): for x in range(0, WINDOWWIDTH, CELLSIZE): # draw vertical lines pygame.draw.line(DISPLAYSURF, DARKGRAY, (x, 0), (x, WINDOWHEIGHT)) for y in range(0, WINDOWHEIGHT, CELLSIZE): # draw horizontal lines pygame.draw.line(DISPLAYSURF, DARKGRAY, (0, y), (WINDOWWIDTH, y)) if __name__ == '__main__': main()

This is the end of “twitch plays wormy”. You can copy all the segments into a python file together and run the game now. If you compare this code to the original wormy.py, you will see that it’s mostly the same, the changes are very limited - you can easily add the code to different games, as long as they aren’t quick-reaction-skill action games. If they are action games, you need to slow down the game to handle the lag. The code that reads chat only runs inside the event loop, so only when run_once(loop) is called, and interacts with the rest of the game by posting ordinary pygame events.

That’s one rather famous type of twitch integration out of the way. But another type is far more common:

Twitch Voting

Most of the time, chat doesn’t play the game - the streamer plays it, and chat comments on gameplay or talks to the streamer. Chat integration is not about sending button presses to the game, or about moment-to-moment gameplay, but about asking chatters to help make occasional, high-level decisions: Which hat should I wear? Should I go left or right? Which card should I add to this deck?

So here is a simple poll/voting pygame app. It’s not integrated into an existing game this time. Asking twitch chat to vote on decisions is something that needs to fit into the game UI and overall game design, and I did not want to retrofit a complex game for this tutorial.

We start with the same imports:

import pygame import asyncio import irc, irc.client_aio import sys import collections # we need collections this time too if len(sys.argv)!=3: print("please get a twitch auth token from https://twitchapps.com/tmi/") sys.exit(1) username=sys.argv[1] token=sys.argv[2] irc_pw=token.strip() irc_user=username.strip() assert(irc_pw.startswith("oauth:"))

This time, the AsyncIRC class is more complex. In addition to a handler for chat commands, there is also a handler for poll votes. In addition to a list of chat messages, there are also fields for counting votes, counting voters, voting options, and so on.

def parse_tags(event): if hasattr(event,"tags_dict"): return event.tags_dict tags={} for tag in event.tags: tags[tag["key"]]=tag["value"] event.tags_dict=tags try: event.display_name=tags["display-name"] except: pass class AsyncIRC(object): def __init__(self, loop, command_prefix=">", poll_prefix="#"): self.loop = loop or asyncio.get_event_loop() self.reactor=irc.client_aio.AioReactor(loop=self.loop) self.connection=self.reactor.server() self.commands=dict() self.command_prefix=command_prefix self.poll_prefix=poll_prefix self.msgs=[] self.has_voted=[] self.poll_votes=0 self.poll_count={} self.poll_options=[] self.poll_running=False def dispatch_cmd(connection, event): content=event.arguments[0] if content.startswith(self.command_prefix): sans_prefix=content[len(self.command_prefix):] try: cmd, *args = sans_prefix.split() except: cmd = sans_prefix args=[] cmd=cmd.lower() if cmd in self.commands: parse_tags(event) return self.commands[cmd](connection, event, *args) else: print('invalid command: ' + cmd) def count_poll(connection, event): content=event.arguments[0] if self.poll_running and content.startswith(self.poll_prefix): sans_prefix=content[len(self.poll_prefix):].strip().lower() if sans_prefix in self.poll_options: if not event.source in self.has_voted: self.poll_count[sans_prefix]+=1 self.poll_votes+=1 # self.has_voted.append(event.source) #commented out for testing #so you can vote twice self.reactor.add_global_handler("pubmsg", dispatch_cmd, -1) self.reactor.add_global_handler("pubmsg", count_poll, -1) def start_poll(self, title, options): self.poll_votes=0 self.has_voted=[] self.poll_count=collections.defaultdict(int) self.poll_options=[str(option).strip().lower() for option in options] self.poll_running=True self.poll_title=title message=f"Poll: {title} - " message+=", ".join([self.poll_prefix+option for option in options]) self.connection.privmsg(self.channel, message) self.connection.privmsg(self.channel, "voting starts NOW") def stop_poll(self): self.poll_running=False best_option=None for option in self.poll_options: if self.poll_count[option] > self.poll_count[best_option]: best_option=option nvotes=self.poll_count[best_option] percent=int(100*nvotes/self.poll_votes) message=f"poll {self.poll_title} ended - {best_option} won with {nvotes} votes ({percent}%)" self.connection.privmsg(self.channel, message) def handle(self, event_type, *args, **kwargs): def decorator(fun): self.reactor.add_global_handler(event_type, fun, *args, **kwargs) return fun return decorator def broadcast(self, message): self.connection.privmsg(self.channel, message) def command(self, command): def decorator(fun): self.commands[command]=fun return fun return decorator def connect(self, server, nickname, join_channel, password=None, port=6667): def on_connect(connection, event): connection.cap('REQ', ':twitch.tv/membership') connection.cap('REQ', ':twitch.tv/tags') connection.cap('REQ', ':twitch.tv/commands') connection.join(join_channel) if join_channel: self.channel=join_channel self.reactor.add_global_handler("welcome", on_connect) self.channel=join_channel coro=self.connection.connect(server=server, port=port, nickname=nickname, password=password) self.loop.run_until_complete(coro) loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() bot=AsyncIRC(loop)

Again, we log all public messages.

@bot.handle("pubmsg") def on_pubmsg(connection, event): content=event.arguments[0] parse_tags(event) bot.msgs.append(f"{event.display_name}: {content}") #print("#", bot.msgs) bot.connect(server='irc.chat.twitch.tv', nickname=irc_user, password=irc_pw, join_channel="#"+irc_user) def run_once(loop): loop.call_soon(loop.stop) loop.run_forever()

The actual UI for this twitch polling app is rather short. When the user presses Return, the poll starts, if it isn’t already running. The duration of the poll is set by the variable poll_ticks in the game loop, not in the event loop. While the poll hasn’t been stopped, it keeps on counting on the event loop.

Since the vote counting happens only inside run_once(loop), there are no race conditions between polling and game loop, and we don’t need to worry about race conditions for votes that arrive just as the poll ends, or votes that arrive while the UI is being drawn.

poll_ticks=-1 my_options=["A", "B", "C"] pygame.init() screen_size=640,480 screen=pygame.display.set_mode(screen_size) clock=pygame.time.Clock() running=True flying_frames=0 best=0 color=(50,50,50) font=pygame.font.SysFont("Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Ubuntu Sans,Bitstream Vera Sans,DejaVu Sans,Latin Modern Sans,Liberation Sans,Nimbus Sans L,Noto Sans,Calibri,Futura,Beteckna,Arial", 16) while running: clock.tick(30) events=pygame.event.get() for e in events: if e.type==pygame.QUIT: running=False if e.type==pygame.KEYDOWN and e.key==pygame.K_RETURN: if poll_ticks<=0: bot.start_poll("Test Vote", my_options) poll_ticks=30*45 #FPS*45 seconds screen.fill((255,255,255)) if poll_ticks>=0: if poll_ticks>0: poll_seconds=poll_ticks//30 time_text=font.render(f"{poll_seconds}s remaining", True, (0,0,0)) else: time_text=font.render("results:", True, (0,0,0)) screen.blit(time_text,(10,30)) for i, option in enumerate(bot.poll_options): nvotes=bot.poll_count[option] if bot.poll_votes>0: percent=int(100*nvotes/bot.poll_votes) else: percent=0 option_text=font.render( f"{bot.poll_prefix}{option}: {nvotes} ({percent}%)", True, (0,0,0)) y_pos=100+i*30 screen.blit(option_text,(10,y_pos)) if bot.poll_votes < 20: bar_length=nvotes*20 else: bar_length=percent*5 pygame.draw.rect(screen, color, pygame.Rect(100, y_pos, bar_length,25)) if poll_ticks>0: poll_ticks-=1 if poll_ticks==0: bot.stop_poll() fps=clock.get_fps() pygame.display.update() run_once(loop) while len(asyncio.Task.all_tasks(loop)): run_once(loop) loop.shutdown_asyncgens() loop.close() print("Thank you for playing!")

Now you can add voting to your own pygame games. Maybe you shouldn’t call the options “1”, “2”, and “3”, but give them descriptive names depending on the current situation.
