Developer builds a virtual fruit fly that Twitch chat can interact with

The core idea is letting a Twitch chat room interact with the fly, combining a virtual pet with live-stream chat. When the report was recorded, the post had 4 points and 1 comment on the Hacker News front page. The report gives only the basic form of the project and those interaction numbers. It does not say how chat commands work, what technology is used, who can try it, or what development comes next.
