A Jeopardy! bot for Hipchat, powered by the jService API. Sets up a perpetual game of Jeorpardy! in your HipChat channels.
- You'll need a HipChat account, obviously,
- A free Heroku account to host the bot.
- You'll also need to be able to set up new integrations in HipChat; if you're not able to do this, contact someone with admin access in your organization. With v2 of the HipChat API, you should be able to create an API Token under your account profile.
- A Free Redis Cloud account
-
Set up a HipChat outgoing web hook at https://www.hipchat.com/docs/apiv2/method/create_webhook. Make sure to pick a trigger word, such as
/trebek. -
Click this button to set up your Heroku app:
If you'd rather do it manually, then just clone this repo, set up a Heroku app with Redis Cloud (the free level is more than enough for this), and deploy hip-trebek there. Make sure to set up the config variables in .env.example in your Heroku app's settings screen.
/trebek jeopardy: starts a round of Jeopardy! hip-trebek will pick a category and score for you./trebek what/who is/are [answer]: sends an answer. Remember, responses must be in the form of a question!/trebek score: shows your current score./trebek score: shows your score for the current month./trebek leaderboard: shows the current month's top scores./trebek loserboard: shows the current month's bottom scores./trebek lifetime leaderboard: shows the all-time top scores./trebek lifetime loserboard: shows the all-time bottom scores./trebek answer: displays the answer to the previous question without starting a new round/trebek invalid: submits the active question as invalid to jservice. Use this if the clue requires visual or audio clues not available in chat./trebek help: shows this help information.
Big thanks to Steve Ottenad for building jService, the service that powers this bot.
This code is a python / HipChat port of trebekbot from ruby / Slack. The structure of this bot, repo, and readme are directly descended from his work.
Feel free to open a new issue if you have questions, concerns, bugs, or feature requests. Just remember that I did this for fun, for free, in my free time, and I may not be able to help you, respond in a timely manner, or implement any feature requests.
