Slipstream

⚠ This project is under early and experimental development and should be considered alpha software ⚠

What is Slipstream?

Slipstream is an application with an event-based architecture that allows users to programatically handle events using Lua scripts. The primary objective for the application is to provide a dynamic and flexible solution to act on iRacing telemetry events.

The extensibility of the core application can easily accomodate other types of plugins to create a comprehensive solution for iRacers and streamers.

Other plugin examples are:

• Twitch chat
• User interaction (button click)
• File monitor
• Lua scripts

How it works

Events raised by the plugins are sent to Lua scripts where the events can be translated to real world actions like:

• Interacting with IoT devices
• Playing audio samples
• Text to speech

Example script

local authorised = {}
local defaultAudioPlugin = "AudioPlugin"

authorised["sassy_mcsassypants"] = "Sassy"
authorised["larryrabbets"] = "Larry"

function string.starts(String,Start)
   return string.sub(String,1,string.len(Start))==Start
end

function say_it(event)
	local prefered_name = authorised[string.lower(event.From)] -- get the preffered name from the authorised list of Twitch users
	if prefered_name then -- if the user has a preffered name set in the authorised list they can use this command
		local text = string.lower(string.sub(event.Message, 6))
		audio:say(defaultAudioPlugin, prefered_name .. " said ... " .. text, 1)
	else
		twitch:send_channel_message(event.From .. ": You are not whitelisted to use !say")
	end
end

function handle(event)
    if(event.EventType == "TwitchReceivedMessage") and string.starts(event.Message, "!say ") then
		say_it(event)
	end
end

Installation
