/hangman → Hangman start · When a message in #games → Hangman guess (the message) → Reply with Board.
What it does
A game of hangman in a channel: start one, then each guess shows the board. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 4 values later steps can use. Find it under Games & fun in the palette.
When to use it
Make two flows: /hangman runs Hangman start, and a message in your games channel runs Hangman guess with the message's text.
When not to
Each channel has its own game, so several can run at once.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Guess Text
-
A letter or the word, like the message's text.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
