Ordered punch-list (aiming to complete by 2021-01-08)
-----------------------------------------------------
-• Add the puzzle edit dialog (initially connected only to :pencil:)
+• Add an "archive channel" button that is provided out after a puzzle
+ has been solved.
-• Ensure that both spreadsheet and channel are updated in response to
- any changes.
+• Add tags to the puzzle edit interface
-• Rename puzzle creation command from /puzzle to /puzzle new
-
-• Add new /puzzle giving puzzle status (and including :pencil:)
-
-• Add new /puzzle edit as a shortcut instead of /puzzle followed by
- clicking :pencil:
-
-• Add /round as a shortcut for existing /hunt all <round-name> (and
- slightly different in that it won't actually return a puzzle from
- some other round that happens to have a name that matches this
- round's name)
-
-• Add "meta" as a checkbox field on puzzle creation/edit
-
-• Tweak /hunt and /round to treat meta puzzles as special (sort them
- first and add some META label)
-
-• Make `/puzzle` for a meta puzzle also display the names/answers of
- all puzzles in the round.
-
-• Add /tag to add/remove tags (will force to all caps and store as a
- prefix as part of the state string for now)
-
- Specifically, this should be "/tag TAG_NAME" or "/tag +TAG_NAME" to
- add a tag and "/tag -TAG_NAME" to remove a tag.
+• Make the /hunt command drop from the database any rounds that have 0
+ puzzles in them
Recently-proposed ideas (not yet prioritized)
---------------------------------------------
+• Need a more direct way to ask for help and to find who needs
+ help. Something like /state but with announcements in the main
+ channel and maybe a periodic "Here's where people need help" post or
+ something like that.
+
+• Fix all message posting in Slack to avoid limits, (breaking big
+ messages (is it 100 blocks? need to check) into multiple smaller
+ messages).
+
• Set-up an announcements Slack channel that's auto fed by email to a
particular email address.
(since the implicit report from settting the abbreviated topic won't
have the whole message).
-• In messages (like from /solved) don't use a raw user_name value from
- the request, but instead some tagged version of a user ID (which
- Slack will render as a display name).
-
• Allow a hunt (and perhaps a round) to have multiple URLs
• Provide an "Archive channel" button in the channel when outputting
complaints from Slack even when the command works exactly as it
should).
+• Hunt creation and editing should set the hunt channel's topic
+
+• There should be a state string in the hunt (and support for the
+ /state command) so that there's a supported way to edit the hunt
+ channel's topic without destroying its links.
+
+• The Turbot Home view and the /hunt output should emit the hunt links
+ and state string (similar to how puzzle links and state strings are
+ already implemented).
+
Round management
----------------
• Select round fields by default based on the round of the puzzle for
the channel in which `/puzzle` is invoked.
-• Consider putting a round prefix into the channel name to group a
- round's puzzles in the channel list.
-
Hunt overview commands and filters
----------------------------------
have backup access to all of them on the off chance of Slack not
being available.)
-• Come up with a better sheet template (Nathan has got one available here:
-
-https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1drSoyrE4gM3JaGweDkOybwXWdKPIDTfUmB1gQCYS3Uw/edit#gid=1471575838
-
-• Put the puzzle's name into the primary tab of the sheet
-
-• When copying tabs from the spreadsheet template, don't leave the
- default "Copy of " text in place.
-
• Do something to make it more clear which tabs exist just as
backup/reference from the original template vs. any new tab a user
has created during the hunt. (Perhaps color the reference tabs
