Description

This Python script allows you to control games, such as Pokémon, using comments from YouTube and TikTok videos. It captures the comments from both platforms and maps them to keypresses that are then used to control the game.

Prerequisites

To clone and run this application, you'll need -

  • Python 3.6 or higher
  • keyboard library

pip install keyboard

  • TikTokLive library

pip install TikTokLive

  • pytchat library

pip install pytchat

Important Information

  • The script uses the keyboard library to simulate keypresses. Ensure that the game you want to control is compatible with keypress inputs.

  • The script utilizes the TikTokLive library to capture TikTok comments and the pytchat library to capture YouTube comments.

  • Comments containing the specified key events ("up", "down", "left", "right", "a", "b") will be detected and used for game control.

Setup

  1. Clone the repository or download the script file to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/maddox05/Comment-Game-Controller.git

  1. Install the required libraries using the commands mentioned in the "Prerequisites" section.

How To Use

  3. The script will start capturing comments from chosen platforms.

  4. Whenever a comment containing a specific key event (e.g., "up", "down", "left", "right", "a", "b") is detected, the corresponding key will be simulated as a keypress.

  5. The simulated keypress will be sent to the game, allowing you to control it using the comments.

  6. The script will display the name of the user and the comment for each detected key event.

Note: Make sure the game window is active and in focus while running the script for the keypresses to be recognized correctly.
