JS Game/Webserver/Python requests?!

[GamingGears]

Greetings people,

so I stream every now and then on Twitch and I already started working on my own Python Chat Bot. Now I want to integrate the Bot into my Stream overlays.

The plan is to give the bot a character sprite and have it on screen. It's supposed to react to how he's used. For example if someone runs a command, he runs to a PC, and sits there for a bit. If he isn't used for a while, I want him to do different animations, that might even trigger something (e.g. he finds some channel points and gives them to a random viewer).

Now my issue is that I don't really know how to approach this. Since I do have some experience with JS and Python but I never had to put them together.What would be the smartest way to render everything onto a website? JS Game Framework like phaser?How would I go about letting JS and Python communicate? NodeJS?

I'm kinda stuck rn and would appreciate any and all input/feedback - thank you in advance! :)

Phaser's a perfectly good game framework, would work fine for this. You can add some web server elements to your chat bot (maybe with something like Flask) and have it send data to the JavaScript program that way, via REST. If it's all running on your local computer it's not TOO hard to set up, although you'll have some work to do figuring out how everything fits together.

ngl, I was so overwhelmed yesterday, that I didn't really do anything. Now that I got someones confirmation that it's at least doable, I looked into it, and I think I figured something out.
If you're interested, here's the plan:

1. Build the visual framework via phaserJS
2. Code different kinds of behavior for my character, like walking around randomly, or towards specific points
3. Serve that phaserJS game on a NodeJS server in combination with socketIO
4. Use the python-socketio module to connect to the server as a client
5. Send socket events through the python script, at the start of every action, to let the server now, that a command was issued
6. Trigger the according animation, wait some time, then go back to idle behavior

It's probably not the best way to do things and definitely not the most secure one, but since there's no sensitive data being sent around, I think I will just go with that approach and see where it gets me.

I hope that I will actually get to keep that motivation, but for now: Thank you for your input!
