A bot for managing pick-up games (aka scrims) on Discord.
The bot is programmed entirely in Python 3, and it makes use of the discord.py package.
This bot probably shouldn't be used to learn from. I didn't use the commands extension from discord.ext since this bot was a learning project for me--this is my first Python project and I didn't want to program with too much abstraction.
The creation of this bot was inspired by the daily League of Legends 10-mans in my guild.
The bot helps you keep track of teams and players, and it can also randomize teams for you. Another nice feature is that each team can pick a voice channel, and the bot will automatically move teams to their picked channels. After completing a round of games (i.e., when you run ..stop), the lobby owner has the option to move all players to one voice channel automatically.
If pip is installed, you can install the package with make.
The bot searches for the environment variable TOKEN with your API token. If you don't know how to set an environment variable, then you can just place it in pug-bot/apitoken.py. To start the bot, just run python main.py after navigating to its location.
The main flow for this bot is as follows:
- Create a PUG
- Have players join the PUG
- Pick teams and channels
- Start the PUG
- Stop the PUG
- Repeat or close it
