Setting up your own gameserver with just one chat message.
Dear diary, today I had a super good time playing minecraft and factorio with my colleagues. We used GameCraft, a simple application which makes setting up gameservers super easy. Setting up a gameserver was as simple as sending "/gamecraft start minecraft" in our slack channel. "George the Gamer", did all the other things for us; Starting the server, bootstrapping the server, installing the game and starting the gameserver. When George was finished he send us the address to connect to and we we're able to play minecraft and factorio straight away.

GameCraft can be used in several ways:
- Using the "George the Gamer" as a chatbot in Slack
- Using GameCraft's web interface
- Using GameCraft's command line tool
Modify the .env file and set the endpoint, username and channel for the slack chatbot.
Once done you can send commands to GameCraft using messages. The commands you can send are the same as the ones in which are used for the command line tool
The following commands are available in GameCraft's command line tool
/gamecraft start {game}
/gamecraft stop {game}
/gamecraft resume {game}</pre>
