I wanted to take the "Twitch Plays" concept and take it to the next level- something that has a connection to the real world.
The backend is written in Java, and the UI in JS/HTML/CSS, and hosted locally. The website is rather simple, just a static S3 website.
I'd be glad to answer any of your questions, apologies in advance if I get too flooded and missed some though. I promise to eventually read them all!
The backend is actually not too complex. Commands are processed from Twitch using PircBotX. Then, that and other data is vended through simple APIs created using SparkJava (http://sparkjava.com/).
It's effectively an API + Web server connected to by OBS Studio Browser instances.
Voting weights can be introduced to mitigate spamming and round lengths can be adjusted to mitigate other issues.
It could turn out a complete disaster, but it will be a disaster in slow-motion.
