I’m excited to announce a project we here at GameSense have been working on for the past few weeks:
GameSenseBot is a collaboration with The Blue Alliance to create an open source chat bot for Twitch streams. Written in C#, it uses SmartIrc4Net (an IRC library for .NET applications) to interpret commands sent in Twitch chat. It then uses Json.NET (a JSON library for .NET applications) and TBA’s API to pull information directly from The Blue Alliance and into chat. The project is open source and can be found on github.
GameSenseBot will be featured on twitch.tv/FRCGameSense whenever we’re live and we’re working with The Blue Alliance to integrate GSBot into GameDay. Below is a list of the commands that GSBot currently supports. If you have any other commands you’d like, please request them!
