Game scheduler

As a user, I'd like to be able to schedule a gaming session with fellow users for a specified time and game

Requirements

Primary

• Users can create multiple gaming sessions
• Session times should take into account timezones
• Users can sign up for a specified session
• @randbot will automatically notify participants when its time to game
• Users can list all gaming sessions coming up

Secondary

• Users can specify the amount of players allowed in a gaming session

Criteria for acceptance

• Calling @randbot sessions schedule [game] at [time] will create a new gaming session
• Calling @randbot sessions join [game] at [time] will add that user to the game session
• Calling @randbot sessions list will list out the upcoming game sessions

Right now, msg.http calls use Node.js style callbacks to do async operations. This can lead to callback hell if we start nesting callbacks so we will need promises sooner than later. Example below

// Callback hell

msg.http(url).get()((err1, res1, body1) => {
  if (err1) {
    msg.send('something has gone wrong');
  }
  else {
    msg.http(anotherUrl).get()(err2, res2, body2) => {
      if (err2) {
        msg.send('something has gone wrong');
      }
      else {
        msg.http(yetAnotherUrl).get()(err3, res3, body3) => {
          // now we have all the data if there is no error
          if (err3) {
            msg.send('something has gone wrong');
          }
          else {
            msg.send(body3);
          }
        });
      }
    });
  }
});

// With promises - assume that a function called fetch() is available

fetch(url).then(body => {
  return fetch(anotherUrl);
}).then(body => {
  return fetch(yetAnotherUrl);
}).then(body => {
  msg.send(body);
}).catch(e => msg.send('something has gone wrong'));

Much cleaner and much easier to read and it comes with a error handler built in just like a synchronous try/catch block.

Plus the http library that hubot is using is unmaintained.
