Looking for feedback on Twitch race bot

Greetings folks.

I want to post about a project I've been working on and try to gauge community feedback to see if its something others are interested in.

Basically I got bored after work one day and decided to try my hand at writing a race bot for twitch. I know one of these use to exist (I think greendude managed it) but it ran into some technical difficulties or something and eventually disappeared.

The end result looks a little like this:






And for the time being that's pretty much all it does. Im tweaking some setting now and making the script look a little cleaner but after thats done I'll be releasing the source so anyone interested can take a look and set one up them self.

So things Im wondering are:
- Does this seem useful to anybody?
- What other features would you like to see?
- Is there interest in a pvp variant?

This bot is currently hosted in windows azure (The Cloud!) and after I determine what sort of usage this incurs I may look into making the script more generic so I can offer to host the bot free for interested parties. Im also planning on renaming the bot and welcome any name suggestions.

Connecting to twitch is easy because its basically just an irc chat.

Theres a nice guide about doing this with mIRC here: http://horusmod.blogspot.com/2014/03/creating-your-own-twitch-chat-bot-using.html

My script is just an mIRC remote file. I post it as soon as I clean it up a bit and make it a little more configurable.


However I also stumbled upon a github project by Skyl3lazer that uses python if that's more your speed, but I haven't tested it personally. https://github.com/Skyl3lazer/PoEBot/releases
