Karma_Bot

A basic karma bot for Slack. This is basically a Slack bot to track karma using a REDIS database as a storage system.

The setup of the program is as follows:

Let's say slack pings the program with a message.

1. app.js recieves the message
2. app.js redirects it to karmabot.js
3. karmabot.js processes the message and spits back a return message.

As for funcitons within the chat:

Lets take an example of "@xephos"

• To up vote: @xephos++
• To down vote: @xephos--
• To check karma: karma value @xephos
