I really wanted to participate in the discord community hack week. Due to, well school I could only work on it at nights but it was worth it. My initial plan was to make a discord game bot. A game that has never been made in discord yet. A game I liked to play when I was younger was battleships so... I thought why not give that a shot? It was an.. interesting process :)
I started out with setting up the basic bot. Getting it up and running, answering to commands and drawing on a canvas and sending the picture. At this point I just started at the start of the game making progress. So first a way to start the game, a way to select where your ships would be, general text channel where you could take your turn to drop a bomb. Now I know I better could have started just planning everything and not give in to the excitement of just getting to the coding😅
At the end the bot functions 90% correctly. There are a few tweaks that should make it better but I'd rather make a version 2 from start. And this time start with making a good plan ;) Also the code is a giant mess, again with good planning I think I can do a lot better. Although it isn't perfect I really enjoyed working on this project and the excitement of participating in something.
You can get the bot running (I hope) for yourself if you want to check it out.
