Telegram Bot about Videogames for the subject Distributed Systems implemented on JSON and using AnyPointStudio
The information source for this application is MongoDB which is a database system, oriented to open source documents. There we can create data collections, make gets and posts and more other actions. Web: https://www.mongodb.com/
This project consists in a Telegram bot who provides you information about videogames by a subscription (it is not stricted necessary to be subscribed). The name of theis bot is VGamesBot and his ID is: @VGames_RRA_bot
Through the subscription any user will receive a videogame news and this will be chosen by the admin, who will send the news through a command in the bot.
Each one of the users can consult the daily news with no need of subscribe, just typing a command.
Also, I included some easter eggs and commands to extend the knowledge about videogames.
Before we get to explain the Anypoint Flow, i'm going to describe the commands:
- /start: returns a welcome message
- /info: show information about the creation of the bot and his developing.
- /help: list of the available commands.
- /sub + "user with more than 3 characters": you get subscribed to the bot. You can only be subscribed once per Telegram account.
- /daily: show the daily news.
- /first: show images and a brief description of the first videogame ever created.
- /adminDAILY + "link of the daily news": this commando is only available for the admin. This command receive the news, check the subscribed users and send it to them.
Easter Eggs:
-
When you write "pacman", we get to downlaod and visualize the video "Toru Iwatani, creador de Pac-Man, "comecocos" para los amigos" Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlQX_g9zCs8&t=106s
-
When you write "tetris" we get information about the game and the original soundtrack to download. Source:https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Fv5cuYZFC0
The first flow is for the /sub command, there we wait a POST of the application. As primary key in MongoDB we have the chatid of Telegram, because that form we will know if the user is already registered or not.
The second flow is for the /adminDAILY command, in this case we make a GET to obtain the list of registered users and know which one should receive the news.
