About:

Palpit8 is a clone of Twitch.tv that analyzes chatroom data of gamer streams through the Watson Tone Analyzer and returns real-time visualization of the mood of a chatroom.

The mood visualization is currently not working on Heroku. Project currently being migrated to AWS to fix this problem by implementing S3.

This project was created by a team of 5 student over a period of two weeks. Major contributions were as follows:

• JF Lalonde and Mike Centrelli
  • Implemented mood visualization functionality by gathering chat log data from appropriate Twitch.tv rooms and passing it through the Watson Tone Analyzer every 5 seconds.
• Mason Holland
  • Created styling using Materialize, built out search functionality, and dynamically generated game and streamer artwork via calls to Twitch.tv's API.
• Bret Funk and Michael Sagapolutele
  • Created custom chatrooms using websockets.
