Vivo Mekanika is a long running high uptime multiplayer sandbox toy, provided through the twitch live streaming service.

This project is in a stable and working state, I intend to make gradual improvements to improve the player experience and expand the little world to keep things fresh and interesting.

Project Goals

• relaxed creative skill based enjoyment
• a tangible realness you can't get from a video game
• a social activity, co-operating with others will allow you to achieve more.

Technical Overview
Video broadcast is provided by OBS.
Twitch chat commands are handled with python scripts.
The mechanical arms are OWI Edge toys with USB controllers.
Python scripts handle identifying individual arms, and mapping commands to individual motors.
Lighting, and mechanics are powered by a re-purposed ATX PSU.
