TwitchMarkov

Description

This is fork of metalgearsvt's Twitch Markov bot TwitchMarkov. I've refactored it to use my Twitch bot package retroBot. This allows for one instance to work in multiple, separate channels while only running one instance. It has also be updated to use sqlite as the message DB instead of storing them as a plain text file.

Setup

Install dependencies

Simply install the dependencies located in the requirement.txt file:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Config file

You will also need to populate the yaml configuration file with the proper values for your bot:

config.yaml

  client_id: 'The client ID of your Twitch application'
  client_secret: 'The client secret of your Twitch application'
  username: 'The username of the bot'

    'The name of a Twitch channel to join':
      ignored_users:
        - 'I would recommend'
        - 'adding bot accounts'
        - 'in this section'
