Chatty

Chatty is a Twitch Chat Client for Desktop written in Java featuring many Twitch specific features.

• Website: http://chatty.github.io
• E-Mail: chattyclient@gmail.com
• Twitter: @ChattyClient (https://twitter.com/ChattyClient)

I learned about most of the Java techniques and APIs used in this during development, so many things won't be designed ideally. I also never released such a project as opensource before, so if I missed anything or didn't adhere to some license correctly, please tell me.

Notes on building the program yourself

Just create your own Ant/Maven files to build the project or import the sources into an IDE. Add the libraries from the /lib folder to your project (as needed).

If you have Hotkey Support enabled (Windows only), you need to include the JIntellitype32.dll or the JIntellitype64.dll for the 32/64bit versions of Java respectively (but always renamed to JIntellitype.dll).

In Chatty.java you should set your own client id which you get from Twitch. You may also want to disable the Version Checker depending on how you will distribute the compiled program. See the comments in Chatty.java for more information.
