Discord bot for the TU Delft course AE1205: Scientific Programming in Python

pybot's Issues

Create a general event-based Queuing system that can be extended for both question/answers and assignment turnin

This base queing system should be able to handle the following:

• View all TA's in TA voice channels and see if they are available (could be indicated by a TA who is currently the only one in the channel)

• Observe any specified voice channel for joining users and add them to a queue based on the time they joined (this is useful for students wanting to turn in their assignments)

• Ability to categorize by issuing command (such as !ask or !question) into an arbitrary Queing iterable. This could could be a collections.deque object for example.

Add ability to update messages that have already been issued using PyBot

Create a general Logging system for PyBot activity

Such an enhancement would be helpful for two main reasons.

1. Logging questions and answers for later analysis (for FAQ for example)
2. Automatically populating a list with students who have turned in their assignemnt as well as their grade

As such the requirements for the Logging system are:

• Ability to log metadata for issued commands such as User, command tag, message, and current status (answered/unanswered & submitted/passed/failed etc.). See Issue #3 for the implementation of using reactions to determine the state of a question/answer.
• Creating an Excel or alternative datafile containing the status of submitted assignments

Support reaction-based input system for setting the state of a question/answer

An example of setting the state of a question/answer could be to use "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" Emoticon. Once the state is set, it should trigger additional events (perhaps methods within a Question class) for displaying/logging the answer.

Allow for private DM's to PyBot

Ability to clean-up text-channel chat history

A possible implementation would be to run a while loop triggered by a !clean command or observe if the current number of messages exceed a user-defined maximum. Afterwards the cleaning operation would clear everything in the channel that was for example not issued by PyBot or Pinned in Discord.
