Example of Amazon Alexa's skill

There is draft example of Amazon Alexa's skill

Code not for production stage (refactoring required) :-) Just attempt to show basic interaction with Alexa

Purpose

Accounting for playing time for each player

Rules

Each player is named color (up to 8 players). The task of the skill is to take into account how much time the players have spent in total on their moves.

Algorithm (very rough)

0. Init

Prepare state (saved in handlerInput.attributesManager.getSessionAttributes() )

1. Prepare

side	intent	slots	description
user >	ClockLaunch		Launch game clock
< alexa			ask amount of players, max = 8
user >		{playersAmount}	tell players amount
< alexa			ask color for each player
user >		{playerColor}	tell gemer's color
< ...
... >
< alexa			ok, start the game

2. Game

side	intent	slots	description
user >	PlayerSwitch		trannsition to another player
< alexa			'plays {playerColor}'
... >
< ...
... >
user >	PlayersPause	{playerColor} from state	pause game time counter for this player step
< alexa			ok, ask me to continue when will be ready
user >	PlayerContinue	{playerColor} from state	resume game time counter for this player step
< alexa			{playerColor} continue the game
< ...
... >
user >	PlayerFinish		player finish game
< alexa			'congragulation player {playerColor}, next player'
... >
< ...
user >	PlayerFinish	{playerColor}	when last player finish game
< alexa			ok, total time {totalTime}, players time is ... (ASC)
< alexa			repeat results? restart game? exit?

3. Close

side	intent	slots	description
user >	Result		get stats
user >	Relaunch		start new game
user >	AMAZON.StopIntent		close skill
< alexa			bye, see you next time
