Just curious: Has anyone tried porting their game into a Slack app - so people can play it from the chat function?

As a novice programmer, curious as to if it's been tried/how would one go about it.

It seems like a fun project.

I don't know if you can convert a web site to Slack app or not, but, if you can, then you might be able to pull it off.

The creator of Quest began making something called Quest JS, which converted a Quest game to a web site, but the project was abandoned before there was an actual release.

A basic game can be converted, though.

Here's a link to the best version of it I know of at the moment:

Here's a list of know issues (there are many that aren't listed, and many more that we have yet to discover):

Here's the original page on GitHub:

Good luck!

Let us know how it works out!
