A program that lets twitch chat play chess against a bot. Watch it in action here!

Set-Up:

You will need an affiliate/partnered Twitch account.

1. Go to https://twitchtokengenerator.com/ and select "Custom Scope Token". In "Available Token Scopes" add scope to chat:read, chat:edit, channel:manage:polls, and channel:read:polls. Click generate token and save the information.

4. In your python virtual enviornment (I used Anaconda), run $ pip install -r requirements.txt.

5. Start the bot by entering $ python twitchchess.py.
