I wanted to create a game that would combine the awesome new power of the Amazon Echo Buttons along with my love of Star Wars. Combining that with Amazon's very helpful tutorials on how to make a trivia game and we get Star Wars Trivia!
Echo ButtonsLets start with what echo buttons are:
Echo Buttons
They are bluetooth enabled buttons that can be pressed along with being able to have a multitude of colors. We are going to use these buttons to buzz in with the correct answer for our Amazon Alexa game.
Getting StartedI used a Mac Mini to perform all the steps that I needed to. You may have to install npm if you have not already - https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm
First step is to open up the terminal program (or cmd if you are using a windows) and type in:
git clone https://github.com/alexa/skill-sample-nodejs-buttons-trivia/
This will take some time to run
It copying
After this, you should have a folder called skill-sample-nodejs-buttons-trivia in the top level of your computer
Location of the files
From there you want to navigate to the skill-sample-nodejs-buttons-trivia folder via the terminal
cd skill-sample-nodejs-buttons-trivia
cd lambda/custom
This should bring you to the correct folder and then you want to install npm into that folder
npm install
This will run for a few seconds (mine ran for 8)
Installing npm
From there, you should be ready to modify your questions and answers as well as change any settings.
These are found in the lambda\custom\config folders and are labeled messages.js, questions.js and settings.js
Please see the attached code for what I used for those three files.
Once you have modified everything, you should zip the files by selecting everything inside the custom folder and making a zip file.
Create a zip file in mac os
Now lets upload that file into aws lambda. Open the lambda management console https://console.aws.amazon.com/lambda/home and go to functions>create function
Author from scratch and call your function name something one word and easy to recognize, I went with StarWarsTrivia. Choose Node.js 8.10 and create a custom role (accept defaults and come back) and then select create function.
Author from scratch
Add Alexa Skills Kit to the triggers on the left.
Add Alexa Skills Kit and click on top function
Click on the function on the top. Scroll down and choose under Code entry type - upload a .zip file. Click Upload and select the zip file you created in the previous section.
Uploading a zip file
Save and test everything.
Copy the link from the top right corner and hold onto it for later
Hold onto the ARN
Go to the developers console https://developer.amazon.com/alexa/ and click on Your Alexa Consoles and then Skills
Top right corner
Create a new skill and select Custom. Name your skill whatever you'd like
Skill name and Custom then click create skill
Under the Invocation, select JSON Editor and paste the contents of the file Invocation.json that is in the code for this tutorial into the empty area (alternatively, drag and drop the json file).
Save Model.
JSON editor under Invocation
This will update the intents and slot types.
Go to Endpoint and paste the ARN from the previous section under Default Region
Endpoint
Click Save Endpoints at the top
Go to Interfaces and fill out the information like so:
Alexa Gadget is the big one
If you did everything correctly, you should be able to go to the test and either talk or type, open star wars trivia to begin!
You did it!
After this, it's just a simple matter of going to distribution, answering some questions and then submitting it for approval. If you need a more thorough tutorial, I would suggest going to the Amazon Approved Better with Buttons Trivia Game guide - https://github.com/alexa/skill-sample-nodejs-buttons-trivia
