wordy

This is the new and improved word cloud discord bot !

As opposed to the previous Python version, Wordy starts processing the messages as soon as it joins the server and it's much faster with it ! It also automatically continues to process new messages as they are sent.

How to run it

The discord registration step is the same for all bot that you run yourself.

Register Discord Application

• go to https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/ create your app
• add a User Bot to it and paste its Token in token.txt
• enable SERVER MEMBERS INTENT and MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT in the bot tab
• invite the bot with https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=CLIENT_ID&permissions=0&scope=bot%20applications.commands replace CLIENT_ID with the Client ID of your app

Run it

• Clone the project wherever you want
• add the token.txt file at the root of the project
• Install the necessary tools to compile Rust with https://rustup.rs/
• With a terminal positionned at the root of the project, run cargo build --release to build the project.
  Note: this will take a while because it's the first build you do, subsequent builds will be much faster
• Run the project with cargo run --release
