Being written in C# .NET 6, the bot should run on any OS where you can install the .NET 6 Runtime.
It's been tested under Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04.
Before downloading and running the bot, you must have the .NET 6 Runtime installed!
First of all, create your Bot account with @BotFather on Telegram.
Bot Father will give you a token. Enter that token in the program (see further instructions) but don't give the token to anybody else!
Go to your bot (for example through the link in Bot Father's message) and start your bot.
It will not reply you yet, but it will message you later when it starts working :)
To have your own bot be a clone of @TriviaDuelBot, you can simply download the latest Release from this GitHub repository.
Unzip the release folder to any directory you like. Afterwards, ...
- Under Linux: Open a shell in the unzipped folder and type
dotnet TriviaDuelBot.dll - Under Windows: Open the unzipped folder and double-click
TriviaDuelBot.exe
That's it! The program will start and guide you through the setup of the bot.
It will ask you to enter three things:
- Your Telegram ID. If you don't know it, start @userinfobot on Telegram and it will tell you.
- A log chat ID. If you wish the bot to send errors to a group, channel or different user, enter its ID there. Enter 0 to have the bot send errors to yourself.
- The bot token that you received from Bot Father when creating the bot account.
If everything goes right, your bot should now message you and the program should display a line with your bot's name, username and ID.
Congratulations, you have the bot running now!
Alternatively, you can of course clone this repository, do changes to the code as you want and compile it.
Constants.cs already gives you some nice settings to toy around with ;)
Have fun quizzing!
