A self-teaching project to build a Bot, initially integrating with Slack.

• 2019-02-08: Added Twitch support. The bot is now used on my Codebase Alpha live coding Twitch stream. We work on the bot in between major development projects on-stream.
• 2019-04-12: Added Discord support.

Commands supported:

• !help cmd - List commands available or if cmd supplied, information about that command
• !news topic - Top news items, either general headlines or on the supplied topic
• !launches arg - Upcoming rocket launches (argument indicates launch provider; default is 'spacex')
• !cricket - Cricket scores from around the world
• !ask question - Ask any question and the bot will use Cognitive Services to answer it (or try)
• !adv - An implementation of the classic text adventure game Adventure - a work in progress (its big)
• !hey - Essenbee can get engrossed in the code, so attract their attention with this SFX command (Twitch chat only)
• !project - Gives viewers information about the current project being developed on-stream

More commands are planned; send me ideas on Discord.
