General Discord bot for utility and fun
This bots main purpose is to serve as a general fun, utility bot for playing games directly inside of discords chat client! It allows users to create profiles, along with purchase items in shops with coins they earn through various activities. There are also many other fun commands packed inside of which most users can see by using the bots help command!
If you just want to be able to use the bot in your discord server, simply invite it using this link: (Insert link here). Otherwise, if you want to run your own version of the bot first ensure you have python 3.7 or higher installed on your machine, then proceed to go to your terminal to run python3 pip install -r requirements.txt to install all of the dependencies of the bot (ensure you are in the same directory as your requirements.txt file).
Next we have to configure the files for your own instance of the bot. Go ahead and create an application at discordapp.com and get its secret key. You then must put that secret key inside of secret.py inside of the quotes for "secret_token". You must also have your own mongodb atlas cluster to run the bot as well, as we store information in a MongoDB atlas database. To make one, create a MongoDB atlas account, create a cluster and obtain a connection string. The connection string will have a large amount of text but within it there should be a <password> portion. Replace that portion of the string with the password you created for a user in your cluster. Also ensure that you have IP whitelisted yourself within your database so you do not get blocked out. Once you change the link, put the new link into secret.py within the quotes for "secret_key". Once you do that, you are all set to begin running!
# example of secret.py
# to connect to the database, put your key between the quotes with the password filled in!
secret_key = ""
# to connect to the bot, put your token in the below quotes!
secret_token = ""Running the bot once everything is set up is easy, go to your terminal and run python3 turn_on.py. You should see the bot turn on in any server you invited it to! You can also choose to run it from a text editor or IDE, simply choose turn_on.py as your startup file.
Closing is also fairly simple, from an IDE you can simple force the program to close using its tools, and from the terminal, you can simply enter ctrl + C. As a general warning, it may take a while for the bot to actually close regardless of how you decide to close it.
