SudokuBot

Setup:

$ ./setup

Wow! That was easy.

Configuration:

So like... open the file CONFIG in your favourite text editor. It will look something like this:

API_HOST="https://matrix.org/_matrix/client/api/v1"
USER_ID=""
ACCESS_TOKEN=""

This next bit is insanely complicated: put the userID you made for the bot (they look something like "@username:matrix.org") inside the quotes beside USER and the access token inside the quotes beside ACCESS_TOKEN.

BUT WAIT!! WHAT IF I DON'T KNOW MY ACCESS TOKEN?

That's cool. Use this handly utility to grab your credentials:

$ ./login

This will prompt you for your user id and password. Use these values for your CONFIG file.

BUT WAIT!! WHAT IF I DIDN'T REGISTER A NEW USER FOR THE BOT?

Well download a client from here and signup.

Running

This is a hard one too:

$ ./run

Whoa. Crazy shit.

Playing the Game

First, invite the bot to your room or start a chat with it. If the bot is running, it will automatically accept the invite.

Then, you can play the game with these commands:

• !sudoku new
  • Starts a new game.
  • If there is already a game being played: are you sure? !sudoku yes
• !sudoku restart
• !sudoku solve
  • Solves the puzzle for you and shows you the answer.
• !sudoku <row><col> <number>
  • Where row can be letters A-I
  • Where col can be numbers 0-8; and
  • Where number can be numbers 1-9

I'm sure you can take it from here 😉

TODO:

• Make a script to login and generate CONFIG file for us.
• Maybe make a bin/ folder?
• Perhaps move the CONFIG file somewhere else?
• Maybe an install script so we don't run the bot within repo folder?
