What it does
GameBot is the official Telegram demo bot for the Gaming Platform. It is maintained by the Telegram team to showcase the HTML5 games that developers can publish through the Bot API, and to demonstrate how the platform's score and leaderboard system works in practice.
Players use GameBot to try a handful of sample games directly inside Telegram. Developers use it as a reference implementation when building their own game bots, because every feature of the Gaming Platform is wired up correctly here.
