Genoji, The Text/Emoji Adventure Game Discord Bot

Inspiration

Procedural Generation and Emojis => GENOJI!!! Inspired by text adventure games and fantasy role playing games

What it does

Generates a randomly generated maze dungeon with enemies, traps and treasure. Here's the catch: It's run completely within a discord bot. Attack the enemies by using emoji reactions. Certain classes are allowed to use specific emojis.
