Search your room, pick up items, and solve puzzles to find your way out. You are trapped in a room, and it's up to you to escape. The Escape the Room Alexa game is just like the real-life version. For instance, you can take the garden path to help the princess find her crown.Īlexa skill store: The Magic Door Escape the Room You can tell Alexa what choices to make as you explore a magical land and collect hidden items, solve riddles, and help the local creatures. The Magic Door is an adventure game with original stories. You can draw it out on paper if it's easier but otherwise you just have to choose to go top, centre or bottom row with your moves.Īlexa skill store: Tic Tac Toe The Magic Door With this skill Tic Tac Toe can be played in audio form. Yes, you can play Noughts and Crosses with Alexa if the mood takes you. You will earn "experience badges" and money as you play.Īlexa skill store: Lemonade Stand Tic Tac Toe Alexa states the weather forecast for the day and then the player buys cups of lemonade to sell, buys signs for advertising, and sets a price for a cup of lemonade, etc. Lemonade Stand simulates owning a lemonade stand. Note: To activate a skill, say, "Alexa, activate the skill". This is a single file to make cutting/pasting/fiddling easier. This impressively brief (if I do say so myself) video shows you how! If interested, you can deploy everything and get tinkering in minutes. Naturally, every skill, including Tickle Monster must use the Alexa Skills Kit for configuration.For account linking/participant setup I uploaded an HTML page to my existing HTTPS-enabled web host (see "The Account Linking Web Page" and "TickleMonster.css" for the page's source code).To power Tickle Monster, I chose AWS Lambda to host service code, since it's the easiest/simplest approach (see the "AWS Lambda" resource below for Node.js source code).If your interest is piqued enough to set up a Tickle Monster-like Skill for yourself, you should know about the three tiers in play: Want to see how that looks in a real world demonstration? Stay tuned. It's nice, simple and slightly mischievous: just like the Tickle Monster! I therefore hacked the OAuth protocol to store participant choices as the access token. In my case (following the theme of simplicity), I didn't want to require credentials or account setup and I wanted to eliminate the complexity of a database for storing passwords & preferences.
OAuth implicit grant typically involves users verifying their identity via a login to your site, whence a user-associated " access token" is sent to Amazon for storage after assoicating a user with an access token, Amazon will then send the token to your Alexa Skill with each request. In practice, participant setup is handled through a process called account linking and it's worth going over the basics of how that process works.Īccount linking uses the OAuth 2 protocol, specifically an " implicit grant" flow in Tickle Monster's case. I mentioned previously how users go through a Tickle Monster participant setup process. Simplifying The Codebase Through Creative Use of OAuth Putting it all together in an example, two back-to-back responses to the question "Ask Tickle Monster who's next", might read:Īnd since we've broken the ice with introduction of some code, it's time to show how the Tickle Monster Skill takes steps to keep things simple for not only users, but also developers !
