Hi everyone, I don't really have a final project this year, so I'm just going to reference my group submission to Discord's "hackweek" hackathon last year.

My Final Project

Me and a few friends made a chat-based game bot where you could play a few simple games like Connect Four, and Rock Paper Scissors. Ultimately, we ran out of time to make more games, but the concept is there.

Demo Link

I don't have this bot hosted anymore, but it's pretty simple to setup, provided you have a few minutes.

Just head over to the releases tab, download the latest Jar. Run it, and it will generate a preferences.json file for you. Just fill that out according to the README's configuration section, and you'll be off to the races.

How I built it

This bot is written in Java, utilizing JDA, some various Google libraries like Guava and Gson, and a few other helpful libraries.

Closing Remarks

Throughout high school I've learned a lot (in regards to programming), and I'm excited to see what college, and beyond, will bring.
