(Appbot) - Make xat apps LIMITED

The AppBot power allows you to create custom applications and games to run in the chat, or even run those writen by others, through the new Canvas application that runs with the HTML5 version of oxat. This creates an environment where you can create applications such as games, polls, quizzes, moderator of the month, etc.

Commands

Refer to the article on the specifics of canvas commands.

Tutorials

In order to play a Canvas game or to make your own game, you need to go through a few steps. These tutorials should help you to run or create an application on your own chat group.

Getting Started

oxat app development

First of all, if you want to run a game, you need to find a Codepen xat app. Click here for the drag and drop matching smiley code. The oxat app development window allows you to setup your game bot. Write down the name of your chat group in the "chat name" box. The "regName" box has to be filled in with a registered oxat user name. Do not use your own registered name as the account will be turned into a bot temporarily. We recommend you to use a secondary account that has the AppBot power and days. The "name for bot" box allows you to pick a name for your bot. Last, but not least, the "apikey" box has to be filled in with your bot API key. In order to find it, login to your bot account, check the "Reset API key" under the security settings and make sure to click "Update Security Settings" once logged in. Please, NEVER share your API key as no one needs it. If this is necessary, you can reset it at any time. Once you have completed the oxat app development window, press the "Run AppBot on chat" button. Go back to your chat and make your bot a member. Make sure you are using the HTML5 version of oxat (i.e oxat.eu/Chat?new). Go to the Canvas app (listed alongside the other oxat apps) and finally press the "Run AppBot on chat" button again to start the app/game on your chat.
