[TALK PROPOSAL]: How I built my own Twitch-Plays-Pokémon

[José Tomás Albornoz]

Hi RUG::B,

I proposed a talk on the website but I'm posting it here as well :)

According to Wikipedia, Twitch-Plays-Pokémon "is a social experiment and channel on the video streaming website Twitch, consisting of a crowdsourced attempt to play Nintendo's Pokémon video games by parsing commands sent by users through the channel's chat room.".

I gave this talk at Baruco 2014, in which I explain the story of How I built my own TPP (sort of).

The talk includes technical components like "controlling a computer with JRuby" and "Writing a GameBoy emulator with Ruby".

It has some technical parts, but it's fairly motivational as well.

Please let me know if you'd like to hear this talk in a meeting!

Cheers,
José
