Slackwolf

This project is not actively maintained any longer: I have not been diligently maintaining this project for several years. If you're interested in updating or maintaining Slackwolf, please send me a message!

Slackwolf is a bot for Slack. After inviting the bot to a channel, you can play the timeless game of Werewolf (also called Mafia).

Roles

Slackwolf currently supports Seer, Bodyguard, Witch, Lycan, Tanner, Beholder, Villager, Wolfman, and Werewolf. You'll need at least a 6 player game in order to see roles other than Seer/Villager/Werewolf given out.

How to play

/invite the bot (and some friends) to a channel and type !help

Installation via Docker

Run the below command to start a container.

docker run -d --name slackwolf --restart always \
   -e "BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-16776859568-RxBtmpeS7isMAQonAEqS1hYLb" \
   -e "TIMEZONE=America/Los_Angeles" \
   -e "BOT_NAME=werewolf-moderator" \
   -e "DEBUG=1" \
   gillisct/slackwolf

Development via Docker

In order to use a docker container for development of this project, first build the container with the following command:

docker build -t {namespace}/slackwolf .

Substituting namespace for a relevant namespace you wish to refer the container in, commonly your dockerhub username. Then modify following command with your Slack Credentials and chosen namespace:

docker run -it --name slackwolf \
-e "BOT_TOKEN=" \
-e "TIMEZONE=" \
-e "BOT_NAME=" \
-e "DEBUG=1" \
{namespace}/slackwolf \
-v "$(pwd)/src":/usr/src/slackwolf/src \
/bin/bash

This will provide you wish a shell inside the container, while still having the changes made within the src directory reflected within the container environment.

To start the bot within the container type php bot.php

Source Installation

If you don't want to use docker, you can install from source.

Slackwolf requires PHP 5.5+ and Composer.

git clone http://github.com/chrisgillis/slackwolf
cd slackwolf
composer install

Rename .env.default to .env and edit it with a valid real-time messaging bot token from Slack. Get a valid token from the "Custom Integrations" tab of your Slack "Configure Apps" page. Also be sure to put the correct bot name in the .env file as well.

To start the bot type php bot.php
