DeanBot

Inspiration

Being gamers, Discord is something that we both use often to communicate when playing games but the built-in tools to manager your server are fairly bare-bones, so we decided to create some of our own!

What it does

• Censors chat of blacklist words
• Allows server owner/admins to mute users in text channels, or just kick or ban them with commands
• Allows creation of polls
• Can post random gifs or gifs based on a search query
• Can play audio from YouTube videos in voice channels

Commands

• !blacklist_add {word} - adds a word to the blacklist
• !blacklist_remove {word} - removes a word from the blacklist
• !poll start {time in seconds} {vote options delimited by commas} - starts a poll
• !poll vote {option} - votes for an option in a poll
• !gif {search term (optional)} - returns either a random gif or one based on a given query
• !mute {user} - adds the user to the muted group
• !unmute {user} - removes the user from the muted group
• !kick {user} - kicks user from the server
• !ban {user} - bans user from the server
• !admin_add {rank} - adds a rank to list of ranks that can run 'admin' commands suchas mute and kick
• !admin_remove {rank} - removes a rank from the list of admin ranks
• !join {channel} - joins a voice channel
• !play {youtube-url} - plays the audio from a YouTube url
• !leave - has the bot leave whatever channel it is in ## How we built it We built the bot in python using the discord.py library as a backbone and are running it all on a vm using google compute engine. The Giphy request api was also utilized to fetch the gifs for the gif command ## Challenges we ran into
• Full implementation of youtube song playing (works but is not perfect)
• Getting use to working in python
