# Words With Coworkers

Feeling too productive at work recently? Play a nice game of scrabble on the company slack!

## How it looks

## How to Install

The app is currently not an official slack bot, so it will need to be manually installed on your workspace.

### 1. Install emojipack

The scrabble board is rendered using emojis. You will have to install the emoji pack. Thankfully, there's a

easy utility to do so!

We use the [emojipacks cli tool](https://github.com/lambtron/emojipacks).

```bash

# Get the emojipacks file defined in this repo

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tyler-Zhang/words-with-coworkers-slack-bot/master/emojis.yml

# Install emojipacks cli tool

$ npm install -g emojipacks

$ emojipacks

Slack subdomain: 20percentclub

Email address login: [email protected]

Password: *********

2FA Code: 123456  #  if 2FA is enabled

Path or URL of Emoji yaml file: ./emojis.yml

```

### 2. Install the bot on your workspace

- Goto [https\:\/\/api.slack.com\/apps](https://api.slack.com/apps) and log in to your workspace

- Press Create New App

- Set **App Name** to **Words With Coworkers** and **Development Slack Workspace** to your workspace

- Go to Create New Command in the left hand side navigator And input the following values:

  - **command**: /scrabbler

  - **Request URL**: https://words-with-coworkers.herokuapp.com/slack

  - **Short Description**: Anything you want!

  - **Usage Hint**: help

  - Check "Escape channels, users and links"

### 3. Start playing!

Boom, you're done! Go to your slack workspace and use the command `/scrabbler help` for instructions on how to play.

You can play for as long as my Heroku Dyno is up :D.
