How we’re using 3D workflows to make more realistic sprites

This is one of the highest priority items for the next quarter or two.

this comment is a breath of fresh air in a sea of armchair-architecting

Hey, author here. :wave: If you don't mind doing Help > Report Issue it'll submit your logs and we can see what went down.

Certainly not opposed; it's pretty tightly coupled to the Slack API, though.

The [imgur](https://github.com/kaimallea/node-imgur) API lets you upload an image (anonymously) and responds with a URL. I promisify'd that and the result is super straightforward. You don't even need to auth.

You can't control the font rendering in Slack (it's Lato, at a certain size). The Unicode cards are far too small to read.

Are you talking about the hole cards that are DM'ed to you? That's a good suggestion; feel free to file an issue.

Does the Heroku deploy work for you?

Wrote up a workaround until I can fix it properly.

Thanks for spotting that! Fixed here: https://github.com/CharlieHess/slack-poker-bot/commit/332f39...

Totally considered this early on but wanted to stick to card images to add to the authenticity. Might expose this as an option later on, though.

The Slack API only allows a single image URL for attachments. I was also keen on the idea of being able to swap out the card assets whenever. Unicode playing cards is a decent idea, except Slack only renders in Lato.

You can deploy via Heroku now, thanks to gangstead.

Because the fun part was writing the game logic, not the glue code. ;)
