Farmer John: Discord Bot

Inspiration

What inspired us to think of this idea was the John Deere competition, we remembered the competition and thought a sort of farming simulator game would be fun

What it does

It allows you to farm your own crops using the $farm, you can sell these crops you have for money, and you can also buy items to give you a temporary boost, there is also a leaderboard to compete with your friends!

How we built it

We built it on Repl.it, which allows us to all work together at the same time on the same project

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge we ran into was we needed a way to have our bot remember information between users, and not just have the entire server all working as one, we did this by setting up a Postgres database (Thanks Patrick!)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

One accomplishment that we're proud of is the sell and shop functions, these both took some time and there were some bugs that we had to figure out

What we learned

I can't speak for everyone, but I personally learned a lot about many things, one being Discord bots in general, I had no experience with making Discord bots and I thought it would be fun to try it, if it wasn't for everyone on our team, I don't think I could've done anything by myself, I also learned a lot about postgres databases, I didn't know these existed before this

What's next for Farmer John: Discord Bot

There are still things that I'm hoping could get added in the future, we came up with a gambling idea, there are also still things that could be worked out to make our bot smoother and more effective
