DiscordPlays

Simple bot for playing games with Discord, a la TwitchPlaysPokemon 🎮

Dependencies

DiscordPlays works with Python 3.7+ has two dependencies:

• discord.py
• keyboard

Configuration

This is the default configuration

{
    "token": "BOT_TOKEN_GOES_HERE",
    "server": SERVER_ID_GOES_HERE,
    "channel": CHANNEL_ID_GOES_HERE,
    "allowed_keys": {
        "KEY_NAME": "ACTION",
    },
    "game": "(OPTIONAL) NAME_OF_GAME_GOES_HERE"
}

To get a bot token, check out this guide!

The server and channel values should both be integers, not strings!

For allowed_keys, each key should be the name of the key/keybind, such as a, space, or attack, while the value should be the actual key/keybind executed, such as a, space, or enter.

Finally, game is optional but should be a string that will show in the bot's "Now Playing" part of their profile.

Usage

Note: Due to how the keyboard library works, Linux users will need to run as sudo/root

python3 discord_plays.py

By default, it will load its configuration from config.json in its relative path, but you can set the environment variable DISCORD_PLAYS_CONFIG if you wish to load from a different location.
