This is meant as a project to further understand python as well as the discord.py API in order to create my own discord bot. Below are some instructions as well as information on the features that I have implemented so far in this project. This project is something I work in my free time so be warned that there might be unneccessary comments and/or lines which I have yet to remove or fix.

This file is my environment file in order to keep my private tokens safe. Currently there are two environment variables in this project which are the PUT_YOUR_KEY_HERE and the TARGET-PERSON.

Below is the information of what these variables do but before continuing be sure to pip install python-dotenv. I used this package to organize and read my environment variables from the .env file.

Fairly self explanatory, this is meant to put your discord bot key which can be found in the discord developer portal. Replace the PUT_YOUR_KEY_HERE text with your key, this should be a string so be sure to wrap it in quotes.

This enviroment variable is meant for the ANNOYING "YOUR" EVENT listed below. Replace the TARGET-PERSON text with a discord id of a person you wish to trigger this event every time they type any correct form of "your". This should be an int so do not include any quotes around this number.

An easy way to get someone's discord id is to type @person#1234 in a server which they are found in and discord should automatically display an arrangements of characters like <@!1231232131231231> when you send the message. Just copy the number and that is how you get a person's discord id. Additionally, there is a way to go into discord developer mode which I suggest you do more research in if that is what you want to do.

This is where all the gross and "not-so-fun" parts are stored. We have our traditional on_ready alert, unique command prefix, unload, load, reload functions. Fairly self explanatory but if you are new discord.py, the load functions are meant to update specific cog file without needing to restart the entire bot.

PLANS FOR FUTURE RELEASES::

• react with a 👍 when we call any of the load commands
• require permission to call any of the load commands
• include more catches for errors
• possibly change the long annoying command prefix
• possibly change the status

So if you are familiar with discord.py API, cogs is an organizational tool to store commands or events in their own file for ease of use. Below are the current three cogs I have made for this project.

The purpose of EVENTS.PY is to have a category to store all the event listeners. So not necessarily commands which the user has to call in order for something uncharacteristically goofy to occur. Inside of this file there are currently two working commands, ANNOYING "YOUR" EVENT and RANDOM EMOJI REACTION EVENT.

The motivation behind this "middle-finger" of an event is that I wanted to annoy a specific friend on discord and always send a rather comical gif each type a message of his included any form of "your". To do this I created a regex pattern to detect if any message has an acceptable form of the word "your" inside of it. If it does then it would then check if the TARGET-PERSON and send the gif.

However, during this development I wanted everyone else on the server to be annoyed at me. So I decided to include an opportunity for everyone else that is not the TARGET-PERSON to experience this event. My solution was to implement a random 1/20 chance of the gif sending each time a person sent any form of "your" using the random library.

Well for this one there really is not an elaborate reason for making this feature, I just wanted to have my bot react to a message using an emoji. To do this I used the random library to create a 1/20 chance of reacting to any message with the 😳 and another 1/20 chance to react with 😨.

PLANS FOR FUTURE RELEASES:

• react to certain sent messages with a specific emoji
• custom server emoji integration

random.py is meant to store all the commands that rely on python's random library. Initially this included RANDOM EMOJI REACTION EVENT from events.py however I felt as if it is in a better in that file. This file currently has two commands: INDECISIVE CHOICE COMMAND and ROLL FOR ME.

Have you ever been indecisive about what you choose next? Well this command solve that problem. Reading the entire message after the command prefix, this command will break up each option between the white space and randomly select from list of options inputted.

How to call it:mister please choose option1 option2 option3

This command takes in a number and then randomly outputs a number created by python's random library. However what makes this special is that it can either take in a dice number or a whole number. Rolling a whole number is fairly self explanatory, and there really is nothing different from other implementations. But what makes the dice roll special is that it took inspiration from the TTRPG D&D and sort of is meant to replicate rolling those dice.

How to call it:mister please roll d[die number equivalent to D&D dice] or mister please roll [number]

PLANS FOR FUTURE RELEASES:

• make the option to roll multiple dice at once. ex: mister please roll 3d8
• have the bot edit its message multiple times to show that it is "calculating" a random number
• display an image of the die
• output an error message when the user calls a negative number, as well as other edge cases

misc.py was probably one of my first cogs when I started understanding cogs, so the old commands in this folder currently do not exist or work since they were either deleted for moved. Future releases will have commands to call from this cog.
