Way back in the days when I played Overwatch with friends, I’d get pinged regularly on Discord for games. Unfortunately I always seem to be on the wrong timezone for spending time with people so I started manually responding with “Wrenbot says: Working so no.” Some of my friends thought it was an actual bot.
And then I wrote the actual bot to do it for me.
for value in message.role_mentions:
if str(value) == "Overwatch":
msg = "Wrenbot says: Working so no."
await client.send_message(message.channel, msg)
return
This is not the entirety of the code, just showing off the bit that did the response for me.
Discord stuff was (is?) primarily done with JS, but as I was actually studying at the time and we were wrapping up our practicals with Python, I did some digging to find out how to do it with Python rather than JS.
Admittedly I don’t write much code anymore since I sometimes have to spend my days picking apart Java at my Actual Job, but I have absorbed some skills writing little Bash scripts through it too

A bot like that is a nice side project. It’s like a command line app, but multiplayer! The most fun I had writing bots was with IRC of course, when you could do everything by hand, but I do have a running Discord bot (written in Rust) that does a bunch of small/easy utility things.

a little self promo: yesterday i updated my small bitmap editor to fix a few small bugs and add a “speed limiter” for the program so hopefully it runs better! its written in C with SDL2, so any bugs that are present are completely my fault, hehe. please enjoy!

i ported an old game engine called Yeti3D to modern systems today:
it was originally intended to run at a tiny resolution on the GameBoy Advance, and it shows, but i think it’s really nifty regardless. maybe someone will try to make something with it?
code available here :3

Oh yeah I forgot we had one of these.
I was chewing my leg off about the Celestial Bodies kickstarter and I needed interview practice so I started basically making a game engine with React.

Thanks! This is an incredibly ill-conceived project but I want to at least get a vertical slice out to play at some point. For reasons of “I’m making the thing in a fucking frontend library” it’ll probably be playable in browser!
