Kahlua Bot

The interface between Twitch chat and Lua

Kahlua is a lightweight local Twitch bot written in C++. The behaviour of commands is defined in a lua script. This allows for easy expansion and customization whithout the need to recompile. Commands can be implemented during live stream as soon as Twitch chat requests them.
