Covid Companion is a discord bot that interacts with users in a shared server. It gives updates on covid-19 cases and responds whenever a user greets them.
Inspiration: I was inspired to do this project by Minecraft. Sometimes on their home screen, I see things like "wash your hands" or "stay indoors" that made me want to make something that gave similar advice but on discord instead of Minecraft.
What it does: Covid Companion gives updates on the number of worldwide covid-19 cases and responds to users when greeted.
How I built it: I built it through repl.it with node.js.
Challenges I ran into: I'm a beginner which made it very difficult to make this project. I had to learn all of the code in a short period of time which was challenging. I also had to search for a lot of errors in my code while making it which was also very challenging for a beginner like me who has no prior experience in coding.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of: I'm proud of being able to make a project like this in a short period of time. Although it may not be very impressive to you, it made me proud. I'm completely new to coding and I feel accomplished by starting my programming journey this way.
What I learned: I learned many new commands in node.js and how to make your own discord bot.
What's next for Covid Companion: I will continue updating and adding to Covid Companion. I want to add more things to Covid Companion such as updating users with daily news about the coronavirus and adding more responses to improve the experience that the users get with the bot.
