Voice Clues: Coding with ASK CLI

Voice Clues: Coding with ASK CLI

In this project, we’ll continue to build and test the back-end for Voice Clues using ASK CLI. Along the way, we’ll continue our exploration of ASK’s capabilities.

Requirements

Make sure to have the interaction model set up before we continue. The interaction model should be set up within the Alexa developer console as outlined in the previous chapter.

Things to ponder

  • Here are some points to consider before we begin the project:
  • What’s a good way to persist the user’s score throughout the game?
  • What are some of the edge cases that might arise?
  • What is the Skill’s happy path, and what are the unhappy paths?
  • How do we give the user a beneficial help message?
  • What can we do to make the Skill more engaging?

Put on your thinking cap, and let’s begin!

Use the clues to guess the capital city!

Voice Clues recap

Voice Clues is a fun game where the user gets to test their knowledge of capital cities from around the world. In the game, the user is presented with three clues. They then use these three clues to guess the correct capital city. If they guess correctly, they get a point and the game advances. If they guess wrong, the game ends and the user gets their score.
