Inspiration

The chameleon board game, despite never having played it before, looked really fun to me. That's why I tried to recreate it in Slack using Ruby.

How we built it

Challenges we ran into

Difficulties parsing the Slack API return json

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

How to interact with an API and parse it's response.

What's next for Chameleon Slack Bot
