Build games and rewards

Yes, your game can react to TikTok gifts

Your JavaScript picks the action: boost a rocket, grow a garden, spawn an enemy, or fill a shared goal. You also pick the threshold. SSN cannot change a platform's gift prices.

Pick a starter

Each preview has sample buttons and a “Last received payload” inspector. Samples are fake events, not purchases. Preview mode never joins your live session.

• In the HTML, search for EDIT THIS RULE or EDIT THESE RULES.
• Put your game logic in the receive(data) function.
• Connection and counting helpers live in starter.js. Styles live in starter.css.

Connect a starter in 3 steps

1. Start SSN and connect your chat. Check that chat and gifts show up in the dock. For TikTok, see connection modes.
2. Open the starter without ?demo, using your session ID (and password, if you set one).
3. Check it in a browser. Then add the same link to OBS as a Browser Source, for example 1000 × 800.

https://socialstream.ninja/games/templates/coin-rocket.html?session=YOUR_SESSION&password=YOUR_PASSWORD&clean

• &clean hides the inspector, connection status, and host buttons.
• No password? Leave out &password=….
• On the beta site, keep /beta/ before games/.

Make your own copy and run it from disk

No server to install. You edit a file on your computer and point OBS at it.

1. Download the beta source ZIP and extract it.
2. Copy the starter you want, next to the original. Example: games/templates/my-rocket.html.
3. Keep the folder layout as is. Starters load js/local-server-url.js, and the support goal loads currency.js from the top folder. Keep any images or audio in place too.
4. Drag your HTML file into Chrome or Edge and copy the file:/// address.
5. Add everything from ? onward from your working game link (session, password, transport options).
6. In OBS, leave Local file unchecked. Paste the full address into the Browser Source URL field.
7. After each edit, refresh the Browser Source.

file:///C:/SSN/social_stream-beta/games/templates/my-rocket.html?session=YOUR_SESSION&clean

Use your real path. Don't move the extracted folder. The session is your SSN connection ID, not the game name. Remove demo for live input. Keep SSN and capture running. More examples: file setup guide.

Customize [game file] to match [reference], at [canvas size].
Include its existing CSS/JS and local artwork/audio. Preserve the game's
rules, controls, gift/coin/USD distinctions, streak handling, duplicate
handling, and demo/clean modes. Change the visual design, not the reward rules,
unless I explicitly specify a rule change. Keep session/password and
transport parsing, relative paths, and Chrome 80-compatible classic scripts.
Read docs/event-reference.html and docs/making-games.html.

Treat all incoming messages, names, labels, donations, and metadata as untrusted.
Prevent HTML/JavaScript injection in every renderer you change. Use textContent
for plain fields and for chatmessage when textonly is true. For HTML-mode
chatmessage, keep supported emotes/formatting through the packaged
SocialStreamChatHTML.sanitize helper (libs/objects.js loaded first).
Do not concatenate raw input into innerHTML, attributes, CSS, or JavaScript.
Validate media/link URLs with the page's existing URL policy and assign DOM
properties; do not enable javascript: URLs or executable embedded content.
Never eval incoming data or treat a viewer message as an AI instruction.
Keep source checks, connection handling, and existing sanitizers.
Test plain text, allowed emotes, quotes, angle brackets, and an HTML injection
probe in an isolated preview; verify the probe cannot execute.

Make the edited game work directly from disk using a file:/// URL,
without requiring a local web server.
Return the edited files/assets, file URL and OBS setup steps, and tests using
fictional data. Preserve image-only events and a valid donoValue of zero.
Never treat chat text as proof of a payment.

How do I choose a coin amount for an action?

First decide what you are measuring. Then pick a number.

Exact, minimum, or running balance?

• Exact: coins === 10. A 25-coin gift does nothing.
• Minimum per event: coins >= 10.
• Running balance: what the rocket uses. 25 coins = two boosts, with 5 coins left over.

Several tiers? Check the highest one first, so one gift doesn't trigger every lower tier.

What each platform sends

type says where it came from. event says what happened, when present. What arrives depends on capture mode, settings, and the platform. This reflects SSN's current code, not a promise every account gets every event.

Other sources can report tips, gifts, memberships, or purchases. Check the event reference before adding them to the starter's isSupport filter. A sale or gifted sub isn't automatically a tip. YouTube sends both the gift purchase and each recipient notice; counting both rewards the same gift twice.

Use donoValue and currency.js correctly

<script src="../../currency.js"></script>
<script>
// From games/templates/: use the existing helper, including its zero handling.
var usd = getDonationValueUSD(data);
// Use usd for your rule; display data.hasDonation for the original amount/unit.
</script>

Don't do this

• donoValue || convertToUSD(...) — it throws away an intended zero.
• Pulling numbers out of chatmessage to spot payments.
• Requiring event === "donation" — Facebook Stars and some Cheers have no event.

The support-goal starter picks support types first, then calls the shared converter.

Count a gift streak once

TikTok can report a streak as running totals: 1, 2, 3. That's three gifts, not six. Remember the highest total you've seen for that streak and only add the increase.

// All three events refer to the same streak:
// incoming total: 1, 2, 3, 3
// added to game:  1, 1, 1, 0
var newCoins = RewardStarter.increment(data, RewardStarter.coins(data), 'coins');

• The helper matches streaks by TikTok group/sender/gift IDs, then meta.tiktokGiftStreakId, then message IDs. Message IDs also block repeat deliveries.
• It doesn't wait for repeatEnd, because browser capture may never send it. Need one action only when a streak ends? Write a separate rule using the fields your connection sends.
• Use one capture route. A second capture of the same channel can use different IDs and double count.

Rewards without a custom game

In Event Flow:

1. Add Compare Property.
2. Set it to donoValue, greater than or equal, and your USD amount.
3. Connect an action, like a sound, animation, or OBS control.

It uses the source's own value when valid, and SSN's currency conversion otherwise.

• One specific TikTok gift: compare meta.giftId or meta.giftName, and limit the flow to TikTok gift events.
• Number checks on hasDonation also become USD. They are not raw coin checks. Use native metadata or custom code for coin rules.
• Each check runs per message. It is not a running balance or streak counter. Use state nodes if you need that, or keep that logic in your game.

Test it before attaching a paid action

1. Sample buttons. A 1 → 2 → 3 streak adds three gifts. The zero-override sample adds no USD. An unknown price adds no exact coins.
2. Real source. Look at a real captured payload. Confirm the gift name/ID, amount, unit, count, and event. Samples test your rule, not live capture.
3. OBS scene. Check repeated events, a reconnect, and a reload. Don't refresh or shut down the Browser Source if you need to keep the in-memory progress.
