Hello everyone,
I hope you are doing well! I'm glad to announce that Pictopix has got a new update with some special features! The first one is the integration of Twitch. Let me introduce this new feature!
Twitch Integration
After several tests and iterations of this feature with the help of a few players and the french streamer Seldell (many thanks to him!), I'm finally satisfied with the Twitch integration.
When the streamers enable this feature, the viewers can interact with the game by typing commands to the Twitch chat!
For example, if a viewer wants to fill the square at coordinates B 4, he just types "!fill B4". The proposal will be displayed on game screen. The streamer can check the proposal ("!fill 15" in the screenshot) before validating or discarding it.
The streamer can also activate an "Autoplay" option and the most submitted actions will be played automatically after a certain period of time!
Following is a list of commands you can type in Twitch chat:
- !fill: fill blank squares.
- !cross: mark blank squares with crosses.
- !mark: mark temporarily blank squares.
- !clear: clear blank.
- !help: display the commands in chat.
The first four commands can be used in this way:
- !fill [letter]: fill a column (for e.g. !fill A)
- !fill [number]: fill a row (for e.g. !fill 1)
- !fill [letter][number]: fill a square (for e.g. !fill A1)
- !fill [letter][number] [letter][number]: fill a line (for e.g. !fill A1 A5)
Streamers can enable Twitch Integration in the game options (Streaming tab):
Enter your Twitch username then click on "Get OAuth" button. This will open a web page ( https://twitchapps.com/tmi/ ). Click on "Connect with Twitch". Copy the text "oauth:...." (press Ctrl+C to copy the selected text) and paste it in "OAuth Password:" field in Pictopix (press Ctrl+V to paste). Then click "Enable Twitch Integration". The username and the OAuth password will be saved and Pictopix will be connected to Twitch. Just start a puzzle to play with your viewers!
I hope you will appreciate this new game mode! Do not hesitate to give feedback about Twitch Integration. :ishappy:
Discord
I've added Rich Presence suppport to Discord. Now you can see which game mode your friends are playing. If one of them is playing Challenge Mode for example, you can join him to try to break his record!
Feel to join the discord of Pictopix if you want to discuss about the game!
Steam Chat
As in Discord, you can see which game mode your friends are playing.
