PlayCord

a discord bot for simple games

by @quantumbagel

Sections to add to README

• Bot usage (within Discord)
• API usage (within Python)
• Features
• Dependencies
• List of games (both planned and implemented)

Project Aims

PlayCord aims to become a bot capable of playing any game on Discord. We will accomplish this using the following:

• Easy-to-understand API for creating games
• Backend syntax/caching handled by PlayCord
• SVG rendering
• MySQL database for leaderboard
• TrueSkill rating system

Current TODOs

• Property class is essentially just a number. It can and should have more functionality (linked nodes, etc)
• Game class doesn't represent current API, TicTacToeGame does
• Need to read up on TrueSkill and fix Player.get_formatted_elo
• Player order is currently randomized, this should be changed for some games (API)
• Bug with TicTacToeGame.generate_game_picture prevents game board SVG from being updated
• Missing many InputTypes, most notably Integer
• Autocomplete does not consider player input, the literal reason it was added.
• Game over state not implemented.
• The "spectate" button doesn't work and the text associated with it is nonsense
• Emojis
  • API support for registering emojis
  • API support for getting emojis
  • Buttons need emojis
  • Rip off Tyler
• Dynamic game thread names
  • Include names of players? time? bot name?
• Lock threads on game end
• Prevent certain thread members (that aren't in game) from sending messages
• Heck, prevent anyone from just "sending messages" in game threads?
  • From what I've found, this is impossible?
• Remove the "Setting up stuff" message edit event for main thread and private threads(COMPLETED)
  • We probably don't even need this, it takes more time than just a defer()
• Better permission checking for commands
  • This includes
    • the ability to start games (or inability)
    • the ability to join games (or inability)
  • Also, prevent the wrong move command from even bothering to check in the wrong channel and just failing it
• Leaderboards
  • /leaderboard <game> command
    • top x, top worldwide, server
    • pagination, etc
  • Top X globally ranked message in the get_formatted_elo function, etc
• Bot presence
  • yea, pretty simple i know
• Add description to bot
• /help command for bot
• Finish this stupid README
• Textify more text areas, including
  • Game started text
  • Button text
  • Game over text
• Catch-all error response if there is a crash, instead of "interaction failed"
  • Also, some method of logging crashes
• Add comments and docstrings to code
