Discord hangman bot

Hi, I'm Max! 👋 I'm a software developer with a strong will to learn, research new technologies, and design software architecture. I like creating practical business solutions and making development processes as efficient as possible.

hooligans-hangman-bot's Issues

have mutliple games active across servers

1. use a db (persistence even when bot goes down)
2. use a map for servers to game objects (only alive when bot is up which is fine bc hangman games aren't important data)

• add map when new server says $hangman and not existent in map
• update map when server says $endgame
• when game going let users know game in progress on existing server connections

lowercase guesses, solutions, and all words

run on docker container

example: https://github.com/dr-carrot/Reddit-Keyword-Bot w/ github actions

curate words better

Do it how Scrabble ranks words:

• each letter has point
• each word is sum of points
• break down into 3 lists (beginner, medium, hard)
• use integration to make sure these lists are evenly sized
• 3 sep txt files of easy, medium, hard
• do a switch statement on the passed in argument (difficulty) and if no arg just use the whole word bank or use a default difficulty (medium/easy)

Curate the main one before this, so that we have normal words.

make test cases

implement $solve

Account for words that have more than 5 unique characters

Only increment guesses when we get an answer wrong

Link map class to number of guesses

map.py is class that contains a dictionary class variable. For each guess, we should print its corresponding index. Also, when starting a game we should print the corresponding index.

For example:

guess 0 (game start):

  +---+
  |      |
         |
         |
         |
         |
=========

guess 1:

  +---+
  |     |
  O    |
         |
         |
         |
=========

ACs:

• For each guess, the corresponding map index will be printed

make github ci to create images for multiple platforms

currently mine is just arm64 for my mac m1 (ARM64), but we want distros for other machines. notably we should do it for AMD64.

when game is ended, remove key/value pair from the global hashmap

This will allow the hashmap to scale and de-scale because right now we just clear out the game object (value) to its default values. The key (guildId) value (game) pair still exists in the hashmap and we want to remove it.

host somewhere
