Pixel Starships Discord Bot

This is a Discord Bot for Pixel Starships

1. Setup

1. Log in to the server (this is optional if you are running from a local computer). For example, if you are running on an Amazon AWS AMI, this would be:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/my_key_file.pem ec2-user@hostname

where your Amazon AWS instance key file is my_key_file.pem and the username and address above should be changed to that of your instance running on AWS.

2. Install Python 3.6, Git, followed by discord.py. On an Amazon AMI, this would be:

sudo yum install python36 python36-pip git
pip-3.6 install discord.py --user

3. Clone this Github repository

git clone https://github.com/jzx3/pss.git

4. Create a Discord Bot. A good guide is Sebi's bot tutorial. The link to the tutorial is here.

   Get the invite link for the Discord bot and add the bot to the Discord chat.

   Add the bot token to ~/.bash_profile as follows:

export DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN="insert_bot_token_here"

2. Running the Bot

Inside the server, create a screen session to run the job in the background. Note that it is not necessary to use screen--the job can be run in the background in other ways, for example using the nohup command.

screen -S pss    # Create a screen session named "pss"
cd pss/prestige
./run.sh         # Run the bot

Press Ctrl-A, Ctrl-D to exit screen. To get back to the screen session (e.g. for stopping the bot), restore the session with:

screen -r pss

To stop the bot, press Ctrl-C twice.
