See my LEDarcade reacting to streaming events. Took a lot of work, but was well worth it.

In the upper left hand corner on the shelf, you can see the LEDarcade clock react to bits being thrown in the stream. A running man animation on a starry background. Parallax scrolling, multiple sizes of text. Build using pyTwitchAPI and TwitchIO (python libraries) to handle twitch. Flask to receive the webhook data.

I created a clock, online temperature monitor, inspirational & custom message board

I put this in the link to the github I just posted, but I used this as the starting point for the clock, and it is this that makes the LED work. https://github.com/rm-hull/luma.led_matrix/blob/master/examples/silly_clock.py
Made this thing 2 years ago..decided to share
