# Chat-tacular, a stylized chat viewer
# version 0.5.75.10b

## Features

Visual chat effects
Custom username and emote graphics
Plugin support

## Advanced Setup

There is little to no setup to run this without any custom features, but for 
those with C# experience -- whether a an end-user or contibutor -- the 
"Twitchbot Core" library has support for the basic IRC events of chat rooms. 
Events such as user-join, message-handling, and command-handling, among a 
few others. The message event for instance has user badge properties.

An example plugin, and its source code, that plays sounds through chat commands 
has been included.

## Custom Plugins

| Custom C# plugins can be accepted and automatically loaded into this program | 
| by using the skeleton file named "plugin.cs" and placing the subsequent .dll |
| file in your %username%\Plugins directory. Please add the already-included   |
| "Twitchbot Core.dll" file located in this program's directory to the Plugin  |
| directory as well.							       |
