A Slack bot to make you really competitive on the New York Times mini crossword.
Clone the repo and install everything inside a virtualenv.
git clone git@github.com:mwillsey/crossbot.git
cd crossbot
virtualenv . --python python3
pip install -r requirements.txtInitialize the database with sqlite3 crossbot.db < init_db.sql if you don't
have one already.
To actually run the bot, you need to provide an API token.
export SLACKBOT_API_TOKEN=<<your slack api token>>
python run.pyIn slackbot_settings.py you can change various things including what Slack
user the bot will report errors to.
It's a little difficult to actually test the bot outside of Slack. Your best bet
is to just load crossbot.py in a python interpreter and call the functions
from there. You'll have to mock up Message objects.
