Discord integration

[Miodec]

Make a discord bot that integrates with the website, assigns the top wpm role automatically and later on mentions users if they get beaten on the leaderboards

Is there/will there be an API for this?

[Syn-Tax]

There is a discord.js api for node which should work, I've not used it for a while but I can work on it if no one else is.

[Miodec]

There is a big part of it thats already written by a friend, but thats been put on hold. Im going to follow up on it soon.

[ryan-harrington]

Is there room for volunteers to work on the bot as well?

[Miodec]

Probably, i would need to get a hold of the bot first and try to understand how it works exactly

[ryan-harrington]

Sounds good.

Here's an idea:

In order to get a role in the Discord server, you must link your Discord account to your monkey-type account. That way, we can use the Discord ID to give them a role based on their best test score.

even if the api was private please no a discord bot would be a pretty cool project. would love to help with this as i have a good background with discord.js and it's sister framework, commando. as for the account linking process, this could be achieved in a number of ways, a possibility being that a user is able to direct message the bot with a specific command, then, providing a account token or db id as a argument, that being if we aren't able to get the discord account linking integration working.

a pseudo mock of the account linking system could be;
user > mt!link <username>
bot > Please provide your account token
user > <account token>
bot > cool linked lol
