This is a very simple discord bot for grabbing links from db.vanillagaming.org. The bot is written in the Rust programming language and licensed under the MIT license.
This project produces a binary systems application which needs to run as long as the
bot is to remain functional. The binary takes a DISCORD_TOKEN environmental variable with the
discord token used for this bot instance
This project uses the rust cargo crates system as a build
environment so building this project is as easy as: cargo build. A GNU Make config
is also included so running: make will also build the software
- discord - A library for interacting with the Discord API (please note that this project has external dependencies which need to be satisfied)
- hyper - A http client (and server) library. Used to look up the correct thing from vanillagaming
This project is open to contributions of all forms, from in code changes to reporting issues and requesting features. Here is a small list of things to improve for future versions:
- Add a struct for the vanillagaming result (to introspect the result type, the artifact returned e.t.c), this could be used to generate better response texts
- Add an easier UI for adding it to a channel (this is dependent on the deployment but we can at least include some static HTML page scaffold)
- Consider supporting embedded rich objects for more fancy messages
