Inspiration
Once Covid gets better, there will be many people coordinating meetups with their friends again. With this in mind, we designed a Discord bot that allows a group of people to decide on their departure times going to a common destination from different starting points.
What it does
The Discord bot decides on the ideal time for each group member to leave so that everyone arrives at the same time.
How we built it
We used the Destination Matrix API from Google to calculate travel times and the Discord.Py API to set the bot up in Discord. The bot was coded in Python.
Challenges we ran into
We originally tried to build an app using Google's App Engine but we couldn't figure out how to make a user interface with App Engine. Consequently, we decided to build a Discord bot instead.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The bot is fully functional and does what it's supposed to do!
What we learned
We learned how to make a Discord bot and how to use APIs
What's next for GoGoMeat!
Putting it into an app or webpage would make it more accessible for people to use.
