A NodeJS module using Slack's RTM to create a Slack Quizbot to run quizzes in your Slack channel. There are some quizzes included but you can create your own quiz with the Slack Quizbot Quiz Builder.

• Slack bot - instructions on how to create a bot for your team at https://api.slack.com/bot-users
• NodeJS - Download NodeJS from https://nodejs.org/download/

Create a folder and install the slackquizbot module at that location:

npm install slackquizbot

Create a myquizbot.js file containing the following, adding in your unique bot token:

var QuizBot = require('slackquizbot');
var myQuizBot = new QuizBot("_YOUR_SLACK_BOT_TOKEN_");

Start your Quizbot:

node myquizbot.js

Make sure your bot is present in the channel you want to run the quiz in. All commands will also work in DMs with your bot so you can test these commands privately.

Ask Quizbot to tell you all the available quizzes

@quizbot list quizzes

Start the general knowledge quiz

@quizbot start quiz general_knowledge

Whenever a question is active Quizbot will search for any matching answers automatically

To pause a quiz for any reason

@quizbot pause quiz

Resume a paused quiz

@quizbot resume quiz

To prematurely stop a quiz

@quizbot stop quiz

To list everyone's current score

@quizbot show scores

You can create your own quizzes using the Slack Quizbot Quiz Builder. Once you've downloaded your JSON file, you can use it by either directly placing the file in a local folder called 'data' or in Slack you can DM the file to your Quizbot.
