PICK'EM BOT

After two years of running manual pick'em games for a group of friends, I decided to learn to code and make a bot to do the work for me. This bot allows users to run custom games with just a few commands.

Getting Started

After inviting the bot to your server there are a couple of steps that need to be completed.

1: An admin will need to run the /assign_role command to identify a game-runner role for each sport utilized.

2: A game-runner will then need to use /setup to identify a channel in which the leaderboard and games will post. They will also have the option of defining a role that the bot can tag when new games are posted.

Game Play

Now that things are set up, a game-runner can use /post to post the first set of games. Depending on the sport, there will be a variety of options with this command. Each game in the designated period will post a message with buttons for each team; these will be used to submit picks. If a button is clicked after a game has begun, the buttons will become disabled and the pick will not count.

A game-runner can use /lock to manually disable any game that has already begun. This will update the game messages with the pick distributions.

Once games have been completed, the game-runner can use /update that will score each game with the result and update the leaderboard.
