Megagame Controller

This is a Discord bot created for megagames. The current iteration is written in Discord.py/Django, with an incomplete web frontend written in Quasar (Vue.js).

Features

Trades

Teams can create trades to exchange any currencies that they have. This normally comes down to a certain amount of the primary currency for some other currencies. Teams must both accept the trade before it's completed.

Military Action

During turns in game, the control team can set up "payments", which require teams to pay a certain amount of the primary currency for some action.

UN Decisions

Similar to the military actions, the control team can set create custom payments for more custom action in the game. This can happen in channels that are only visible for certain roles on each team.

Future

I will be rewriting this project in Rust. Dealing with async Discord.py + sync Django caused a lot of issues, and Discord.py is no longer maintained. You'll see that there are many occurences of @sync_to_async and @async_to_sync in the codebase. It makes it even more difficult to maintain type knowledge across these transitions. Rust will help prevent many bugs while the bot is running, while these had to be iterated on many times with Python.

megagame-controller's Issues

Test Quasar as frontend framework

A private channel is added for each player to show their bank

Complete trade workflow

• After choosing country, that view is edited with new channel link
• Players can only see currencies that their role allows
• Trade increases check all transactions to make sure team has enough
• A trade can be made to control to make payments
• Trades have to be confirmed from both ends
• Choosing currencies is a dropdown

Refactor trades to be authenticated in team chats

Django can facilitate an atomic transfer

Test Django backend with Discord bot

Build a proof-of-concept workflow with the tech stack

• Discord message send on Discord server is received
• Message is stored in the database
• Frontend is updated to show that the message was recieved

Players need a command to send money to someone

Transactions should be visible on the frontend
