This is an Amazon Alexa game inspired by Lifeline developed in the HackUMass V, Nov, 3, 2017

How Idea Comes

• Inspired by the game Lifeline, a text based game which helps a astronaut survive in the planet. The astronaut's action is totally based on the communication between YOU.
• Then we consider how to move this game to Amazon Echo, with the alexa, this amazing AI chat bot, we think we can create a voice version survival game.

About How We Build it

• Main tool we use:

  • Alexa Skills Kit
  • Amazon Web Service (Lambda Function)
  • Node.Js

• How to use Alexa Skills Kit to develop games:

  • We use these two repos for main reference : skill-sample-nodejs-quiz-game and alexa-avs-sample-app

• Test and run:

  • Tested in Echo, thanks to MLH for providing Echo

Others

• What we are proud of:
  • We build it ! Yeah !

• What problems we encountered:

  • This is the first time we use AWS, Alexa Skills Kit, so we have a lot of time in figuring out how to write functional code, and we spent a lot of time in configuring development environment. So most of the problems come from this part.
  • Decision Tree, think of the script is also a challenge for us.

• Future plan:

  • more complicated script
  • tuned voice output so that alexa can have emotion

Built With

• alexa
