Dicebot

Bot for Slack to roll dice.

To use:

• setup website on a server running Node
• add a config file with the API tokens from Slack
• add a Slash Command Slack integration, point at the dicebot server you setup

Once the integration is up, in Slack, use it by:

• typing /roll #d# where the first number is the number of dice and the second number is the number of sides
• syntax is very forgiving, allowing things like
  • modifiers - /roll 2d6 +15
  • multiple dice - /roll 3d6 2d8
  • it will try to "parse" weird rolls like /roll +2 +5 2d6 where the parameters are out of order
  • /roll defaults to 1d20 if nothing is passed
