GameEngine Input Handler

JavaScript
This is the Game Engine input handler. The program checks to see if the GameEngine.InputHandlerEvent is the type returned from Alexa. It receives the button press input or lack of input and responds accordingly based on the situation.
 
  switch(event.request.type) {
