Heya, this is Mr.StiK.

So, my uploads of blogging has been quite slow because of few things:

1) I'm trying to fix some stuff
2) The code has gone so big that it makes my head feel dizzy 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
3) I've a bit of ADHD problems and this is making me drive away from the project because I'm seeing no hope on this...

So, I asked some help, and this is what I got...

I'VE TO LEARN A DATABASE AND ASYNCIO FOR THIS CRAP!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

so yeah, no code for you, again. I'm sorry

;(

so, yeah, ima ded.

Heya, this is Mr.StiK

So, as you can see, on the tweet, we did something, again, bit small stuff... we just started on the game concepts, which kind of leading me to a confusion...

Should I change the code? If you don't know what I mean, let me explain;

You see, the code for the bot is like as if anyone can mess any games from ANY server... I have not wrote the code in the way in which multiple server can start separate games with no problems... so, I'll be considering advices from veteran 'pythonists' for some answers...

But again, that's for later, my exam's are almost getting over, report card and fate coming soon (XD)

Sorry, there's no code for you today, just want to say I'm still alive -_-

So, yeah, that's it.

Toodles!

Making of Among Us in Discord - DEVBLOG 6 - Start Screen DONE...kinda? (3/3)

Heya, this is Mr.StiK.
[Mr.StiK's intro Dialogue counter: 7]

So, just like the tweet above and the counter joke just above (XD), I made a counter system in the bot.

Basically I don't have hopes of editing that dang embed message... so, I found a perfect solution...

Yes, you may can understand I'm in a grave situation of coding till 1:20 AM, and I'm fed of it.

discord.py server was... unaware... of my 'problem', so I need to find my own solution... and I did it, I coded it all by myself~

No, seriously, thanks to CHATGPT for fixing my error in the code.

And it's not in the tweet, but I just added players list on the message too (actually while typing... seriously). Here's the image of it:

Now, it's code time! Here's the promised code:

player_count = None
# Now actual stuff...
class StartButton(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None

    @discord.ui.button(label='Join Game', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
    async def start_button(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        if interaction.user.name in players:
            await interaction.response.send_message('You already joined the game', ephemeral=True)
        else:
            players.append(interaction.user.name)
            await interaction.response.send_message("You've successfully joined the GAME!!!", ephemeral=True)
        print(players)
        await player_count.edit(content="Total count of players is `"+ str(len(players)) + '` And Players are: `' + str(players) + '`')
        self.value = True

@bot.command()
async def start(ctx):
    global player_count
    players.clear()
    lobby_admin = ctx.author.name
    players.append(ctx.author.name)
    start_view = StartButton()
    print(players)
    await ctx.send(embed=start_embed, view=start_view)
    player_count = await ctx.send("Total count of players is `"+ str(len(players)) + '` And Players are: `' + str(players) + '`')

As you can see, player_count (which is the message of player counting because for editing message purpose) is assigned as None. This is because if we're assigning it on start command (async def start()) we can't use it for editing while interaction, who's code is on top. So, I already assigned a variable like that BEFORE that. And that solution worked...

Unfortunately, I can't see the change CHATGPT made, because... I don't know where it is. It looks like the same code!

And the player counting thing took a bit of basic python knowledge (heh. 😏). For more on the rest of the code, see DEVBLOG 4.

So, yeah, that's it.

Toodles.

Making of Among Us in Discord - DEVBLOG 5 - Start Screen (2/3)

Mr.StiK — Sat, 25 Mar 2023 03:56:38 +0000

// Detect dark theme var iframe = document.getElementById('tweet-1639473505325465603-881'); if (document.body.className.includes('dark-theme')) { iframe.src = "https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=1639473505325465603&theme=dark" }

Heya, you know me, this is my 6th blog and you WILL know me (newbies, I'm Mr.StiK)

So, as you cans see... yes, I coded till 1:20 AM and my mom got tired and slept after shouting to me to 'Close that dang Computer!!!' and I got the advantage for extra coding time :)

I only slept for 5 hours, but anything for a sussy bot XD.

So, I got players list working! Now whoever presses it, can join with no problem!!! No '2-Players-with-same-name' thing, etc.

But I need to figure out more on this embed, though...

I need to edit the embed, make the lifetime of the embed a bit long because for some reason, only 1 person can interact with it...

And unfortunately, no code for today, because the code is spaghetti and it's still not complete to show you guys... but luckily, I can tell you how I did the Players list management...

You see, the structure of the code is like this, that the Start Button/UI Class (for that embed's Buttons) is above that of the embed message, and I can't do anything on it, because it's the official way, for some reason...

Now, I also did a small change for the thing I'm working on, which is edit embed... so I made the whole start_embed (the embed message for the start screen) to be above the Start UI Class, and the command and sending functions belove the class. Somewhat looks like this:

start_embed
Button stuff
Sending the embed

so yeah, that's how it works... I might figure this out, but I have to ask discord.py, my heaven, to give me the U L T I M A T E S O L U T I O N (XD)

so, that's it!

Toodles!

Making of Among Us in Discord - DEVBLOG 4 - Start Screen...(1/3)

Heya, this is~ you know who am I, don't you!

So, quick coding, I made the Start Screen today most of it, because I'm fasting, and exams too so I might get only little time to code, so... Time is Precious!

I think my blogs are not having coding content, so, I might share code next blogs... but here's today's code for a good start.

players = []
host = ''
class StartButton(discord.ui.View):
        def __init__(self):
            super().__init__()
            self.value = None

        @discord.ui.button(label='Join Game', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
        async def start_button(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
            players.append(f'{interaction.user.name}#{interaction.user.discriminator}')
            await interaction.response.send_message("You've successfully joined the GAME!!!", ephemeral=True)
            print(players)
            self.value = False
            self.stop()

@bot.command()
async def start(ctx):
    start_embed = discord.Embed(
        colour=discord.Colour.red(),
        title='Welcome to the **LOBBY**',
        description='Game will start once there are enough players and to join, Click "Join Game"'

    )

    start_view = StartButton()
    await ctx.send(embed=start_embed, view=start_view)

So, yeah, let me explain a bit:

players is a list (or an array, in other language terms :) ) and host is a string and these variables will contain user names... and I think you may know what are their uses... -_-

And when somebody starts a game, the user who said that will be the host (it is not included, maybe tomorrow) ( [❕] StiK will remember that...) and the users who press Join gets their name in the players list and actually adds their username by getting the name and discriminator value. The username string goes:

f'{interaction.user.name}#{interaction.user.discriminator}'

I made it a formative string for doing it easy, example, just say UserGuy#0001 clicked this. That guy is the interaction.user, his name being 'UserGuy' and discriminator '0001'. So, I first formatted the name variable then a '#' goes on and then finally the discriminator. Thus we got the name!

My plan is to add these players in a 'Nested Dictionary' with their color and role as a dictionary... so it might be easy to manage them and their actions and roles...

So, yeah, if you have suggestions, please, PLEASE let me know because as you can see, I'm new to python and I'll never forget the help.

[PS: GOTO THE OG TWEET AND YOU'LL SEE THE SECOND IMAGE I WAS TALKING ABOUT IN THE TWEET]

So, yeah, that's for today,

Toodles.

Heya, This is Mr.StiK, again, again (again)

So today's progress was all on Help Section for the Bot (like I planned, I'll work on it). And I did a bit of it...

PART 1:

But I had a small tiny issue…which you can see in the twitter post's 1st image, the message had 2 embeds… which was something I didn't wanted, I tried to check code, nothing. Re-type it, nothing. DELETE THE CODE, and still the message comes... somewhat I would say, stuck-code. That embed message was the one I was working on, but then, my laptop was out of charge, and the whole token thing had some issue, I don't know, didn't notice, and that was the reason. I realized this when I asked my dear discord.py server, and one guy said 'Have you tried resetting the token?'

I tried... it worked! You can see the result on Image 2 (go to the 1st original original tweet to see it completely)…

So yeah, lesson truly learnt!

And I wasted 4 hours on this...

...

B R U H

PART 2:

SO it's night, but I completed the help section!!! with ephemeral messages too!!! Worth the night :) .

Anyways, I'm tired, going to hit the sack.

Toodles.

Making of Among Us in Discord - DEVBLOG 2 - Buttons and New Possibilities

Heya, This is Mr.StiK, again, again

So, this post is quite fast since I take 24 hours to post, this is less than that... that's because I took a lot of progress today

To start of, I again switched to PyCharm because Thonny was having... some issues... with UI (I'll come to that later). So yeah, back to the IDE I hate, but this time, I made my own file rather than a project, so PyCharm can't harm me this time, HAH!

And I completed embeds... with set_author(). And I mastered EMBEDS...

The next thing I had in my bucket_list.txt file was... Buttons... which was kind of cool, to be honest, and I want to try it out...

[insert AFTER 1 ETERNITY meme here]

It took me 2 AND AN HALF HOUR TO FIX IT and solution was TO GO BACK TO PYCHARM WHAT THE~

~back to the point.

Thanks to some awesome geek~ I mean, 'programmers' in the discord.py discord server, I actually got the solution... not only should I change my IDE, I should also use buttons using Classes, which was not the way I was doing...

So, yeah, that's done...

Then I managed to make the 1st step to actually making the bot... Start Screen...

And I did, not finished but still, it's good for me!

That's it for today's progress... I got to study for exams, wish me luck!

PS: Here's people who helped me with this much progress;
CHATGPT for explaining each code with examples (true programmers use ChatGPT for that, not for generating code for your work 😎 )

Little Furret, and Invisible on the Discord Server...

And finally my beta-tester and trustworthy friend: PakinDe

Heya, this is Mr.StiK, again.

So, as mentioned on the tweet, I did some embed test which I'll use a lot in the final bot. And yes, I migrated from PyCharm to Thonny because I lost all my files from PyCharm because I JUST RENAMED THE PROJECT OUTSIDE PYCHARM ARE YOU KIDDIN~ ok, ok, you know what I'm saying.

This was my progress so far because it took me so long to do this, about an hour and half, but I'm happy with the result.

SO, see you in the next DEVBLOG, I might not be able to post it in next 24 hours because I've exams going on, this is study leave I'm utilizing XD.

Alright, that's it.

Toodles!

Heya, this is Mr.StiK

So recently I learnt python (which was a good decision to be honest) and I made some small programs that help me with my maths homework XD. So this time I decided to make something worth to call a GOOD project... so I decided to make an Among Us in Discord...as a bot...in python.

The project looks too ambitious for a beginner project, but I decided not to lose my focus and got ready with 5 jar of coffee powder to get start ;).

I so far made the bot online with a program thanks to the awesome tutorial made by Idently. And we got the bot running as shown here...

So, that's for this devblog I might return soon (maybe not but im active at twitter, you know :) ) so, yeah

Toodles!

Python Mean Program!!! - My first Python code!!! :)

Mr.StiK — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 17:43:02 +0000

So I was doing my maths homework on mean average, and it's so boring and tiring I hate it very much, until recently I tried to learn python... which was a good choice, because I made a program that finds the mean of numbers in the list (or arrays, for non-python guys)

Seems good for a first project! :)
