A basic Discord bot that simulates a Magic 8 Ball, and provides small pieces of wisdom when you ask for them.
YourZenBot is a Discord bot written using the Discord.py Library that can send you clues on what your future holds, answer some yes-or-no style questions, and give pieces of wisdom.
Do you want to inject some extra positivity into your Discord life or gaming?
Feeling stuck on a certain level in a game?
Just ask YourZenBot for advice! This basic Discord bot can be both your confidant and your Magic 8 ball, as it divulges truths and pieces of wisdom to you. While its wisdom is simple, it's often the simple things in life that pack the greatest punch.
!fortune -> Get a prediction on what the next few days could hold.
!future -> Same as the !fortune command.
!question -> The bot will prompt you for a YES or NO-style question. Ask your question and get an answer.
!wisewords -> Get a little piece of wisdom for the day.
!day -> Tells you if today is a National Day or if the day is commemorating anything special. This can be useful for sparking conversations on a server!
You can use !fortune to get a small prediction on what tomorrow holds.
Or if you want to ask the bot a question, just type !question
If you type !wisewords, YourZenBot will output a piece of wisdom to you, such as: "Don't worry about tomorrow! :) It will sort out itself."

If you want a tutorial with screenshots or additional support with generating a bot, just follow the steps in the following tutorial, which I highly recommend: https://github.com/reactiflux/discord-irc/wiki/Creating-a-discord-bot-&-getting-a-token
[WORK IN PROGRESS] -- This is still in development. The bot will always work in its current state, but just keep in mind that new features are continually being added to the bot. So make sure to drop by whenever you can!
This is for entertainment purposes only. That is obvious.
