Requirements

• A Virtual Private Server (VPS) or a website where you can host the bot. (glitch, heroku). The OS of the VPS doesn't matter.

• npm
• If your OS is windows, you need the Windows Build Tools. Install them via npm i --global --production windows-build-tools
• If your OS is Linux/Ubuntu, you need the build-essentials package. Install it via sudo apt-get install build-essential
• A discord bot application. Here's a good tutorial on how to create a bot application

• Inside the root folder of the repo, run the command npm i
• Create a file in the root folder of the repo called .env. Inside it, paste the following:

codenames-bot's Issues

Bot offline

Trying to invite the bot to my server using the invite link in the description, but after inviting, the bot appears offline and is unresponsive to commands.

Bot Offline?

This looks like an awesome little bot for Game Night servers under the quarantine life.

Invited your bot, but it just shows as Offline and unresponsive. Tried commands:
-help
-tutorial
-configure

Game disbands abruptly + Words aren't automatically inputted

Just added the bot and we're getting these two issues:

• The bot is abruptly disbanding the game at different stages of the game. It's also been spamming the disband message. Had to kick it because of that.
  
• When starting a game, the board will be blank. We've had to manually enter custom words in order for it to work.
  

Bot Offline

I added you bot to my server but i am unable to set it up in a channel. It says it is offline.

Bot Not Responding, But Online

Hey there! I was just curious if there is something I am missing about getting the bot set up for my server, or if the bot is just not working in general. I have tried -help, -tutorial, and -configure, but the bot is unresponsive with all of them. Thank you!
