Quack Reply

We've always wanted to make a discord bot. Since we know nothing about how to make it, it's better to start with nothing. We followed some of the guides of this youtube video: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/create-a-discord-bot-with-python/ .... and it looked like we have to learn python as well.

Discord bots are artificial intelligence that can do several task as you command in a Discord group. Quack Reply is a discord bot that can respond to several texts you send in discord. It's just there to not be lonely. Using the video given in paragraph 1, it looked like we had to use Replit as the coding website.

The code consist of new stuff that we just learned, but things to note are: wordlist.py - This is some of the list of words that will be called to the main code to trigger events. Some of the words are received from the internet. keep_alive.py - This is intended to keep the bot alive. When we run the code, Replit, will automatically turn it off in 1 hour if there are no interactions. So this code is to send a signal from a website such that the bot doesn't turn off.

The challenge we run is knowledge over the language. We can't finish it on time. We only added some several features, but it's basically useless. We also faced unexpected problems such as our MSE assignment due tomorrow.... so sad. So uh, we were a bit busy sorry.

We're still proud that we have this bot though. Even though it's not a good bot, we made it from scratch, added some new features, and learned a bit of Python. In the mere future, we would like to upgrade this into a cool Quack Reply that can do math and help check grammar hehe.
