/*

Simple AHK script to change a number in a textfile to count stuff.

You need to have AutoHotey installed: ahkscript.org

- Edit this script accordingly:
  - Change the hotkeys to increase/decrease the number
  - Just remove the second hotkey if you don't need one to decrease
    the number (comment out or remove the whole section)
  - Change the file name/path if necessary
  - You can have some text added behind the number if you want
- Run the script with AutoHotkey and use the hotkey, it should create
  the file, which you can then add in your streaming program as source
  for a text layer
*/

Add window name if it should be restricted
