Inspiration

Make Magic 8 ball application easily accessible anywhere and anytime by making it available on different platforms and channels.

What it does

Provide answers for your questions when in doubt.

How we built it

We used Bot Framwork for the bot, Azure for deployment. http://magiceightballapp.azurewebsites.net http://m.me/magic8ballbot (Facebook Messenger)

Challenges we ran into

Deploying the bot to Facebook messenger.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Completed and submitted the fully functioning bot application to Facebook. Completed and deployed the fully functioning bot application to a ASP web application using Azure.

What we learned

We learned how the Bot Framework works as well as how to integrate the Bot Application with other social platforms.

What's next for Magic 8 Ball

Currently, the Magic 8 Ball application has been implemented to iPhone application, AppleWatch application, iMessage application, iMessage sticker. We will try to implement platform specific features (cards, attachments) to the Facebook bot application. We'll have to add some logic checks on the questions that the bot receives and reply to the question according instead of replying the Magic 8 ball results. We are also working the application for different platforms and channels that we haven't covered yet.
