Slack-gamebot implements a Hypermedia API. Navigate to the application root to browse through available objects and methods. PlayPlay.io's Gamebot is here, you can see dblock's current ping-pong elo here.
A team captain must opt-in serving data via the API with set api on. The data served by the API includes team's Slack IDs, usernames and game stats.
We recommend HyperClient to query the API programmatically in Ruby.
This bot is built with slack-ruby-bot-server. See CONTRIBUTING.
