🏆 The Creature Cup
Every creature. Same size. One cup.
The Creature Cup is an animated animal tournament published on YouTube. Sixteen animals are scaled to the same size and meet in a single-elimination bracket. At the end of each episode, viewers comment who they think should win the next match, and those comment votes decide how the next fight ends.
The Creature Cup Uploader
The Creature Cup Uploader is a private tool used only by the operator of the Creature Cup YouTube channel. It runs on the operator's own computer and uses YouTube API Services to:
- upload new Creature Cup episodes to the operator's own YouTube channel;
- read the public comments on that channel's own videos to count votes for the next match;
- post a "next match" comment on each new episode.
The tool is not offered to the public. Nobody other than the channel operator signs in to it.
How voting works
- Each commenter gets one vote per match. If they comment more than once, their latest comment counts.
- A comment that names one fighter is a vote for that fighter.
- Only the vote totals are kept. Comment text is not stored.
