Inspiration
We know that Discord users often play games or other sedentary activities for long stretches of time, so this Discord bot provides a way to tell Discord users to take breaks at regular intervals, hopefully improving health and overall quality of life.
What it does
This bot allows users to set a timer that will alert them to take a break at a certain interval. It also provides a habit tracking functionality.
How we built it
We used Replit as the IDE, as it allowed us to work collaboratively without having to set up the dependencies on our local machines. We used Python and the library discord.py to build the bot and interface with Discord.
Challenges we ran into
Neither of us had built a Discord bot before, so there was a learning curve to using the library and getting things to work.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud to have made a functioning Discord bot despite our lack of prior experience.
What we learned
We gained experience with writing a Discord bot using discord.py and with asynchronous functions in Python.
What's next for Touch Grass Discord Bot
We can implement more advanced functionality, like making custom habit to track.
