Date Putin Bot

Inspiration

I've wanted to try my hand on a discord bot for a while now. I thought since I'm by myself, why not give it a try?

What it does

It is a discord bot reminiscent of an older-style text RPG, but in discord using a bot.

How I built it

I started with a discord bot template from repl.it, and built from there. it was a lot of figuring out what the bot should say in response to the users choice

Challenges I ran into

The original idea was a discord bot that was essentially a google home device, but I couldn't figure out how to get that to work, so it evolved into a dating sim. the next major hurdle was reactions. I wanted how the user to interact with the bot to be via reactions, but after three hours of trying to figure it out, I scrapped it and went with a simpler text-based method. the final hurdle was setting up a system that would track scores for each individual player. but again after three hours of no luck, I scrapped the idea.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I'm proud that I got the bot working, I'm proud of the time I spent working on this robot. and I'm proud that I was able to learn something new

What I learned

I learned about what it's like to make a discord bot and a bit more about python.

Notes

the link to the repl.it will show my code, but to interact with the bot, you will need to join the discord server I have made for this bot, which is the second link. to start interacting with the bot, type /play and the bot will guide you through the rest
