Talky-Blocky

A game using voice interactions & React. Built as a demo for the for Localhost XIII at the Recurse Center.

Built with joy & love by @Driijko and @georgemandis during the Winter 2, 2020 batch.

How it works

• Hold down the spacebar to talk to Talky-Blocky. It's only listening while the key is being held down.
• If you say right, left, down or up Talky-Blocky can move around the grid.
• Say the name of any color and Talky-Blocky can change the grid blocks to that color!
• You can also say hello and thanks.

Tips

• Try to speak clearly so that Talky-Blocky can understand you! Sometime speech recognition can be fickle.
• Don't be afraid to string commands together. Trying saying something like: "Could you go right for me Talky-Blocky, then go down, go down again, go down one more time, take a left and change that block to pink for me?"

Unfortunately this requires a speech recognition API capable browser, so basically it only works on Chrome right now 😔
