SlackPlaysMario

Fun side project where Open Web members used our Slack to play a game of NES Mario

How it works

1. Users on Slack send messages @nesbot
2. app.py accepts incoming messages, writes them to a file buffer commands.txt
3. nesms_multicommand.lua continuously reads from the file buffer and if there's a new command, it'll execute the command on the emulator
