The Fun of Coding a Discord Bot

Warning

This tutorial is probably quite outdated now, there are many more better ones out there!

Hello, everyone! Today's post is all to do with my Discord Bot and how I made it. If you haven't already joined my Discord Server, a) You Should and b) you won't have seen my Bot.

On the server, I have made a bot which can do a few fun things and fills in for my friend David. For example, typing /xkcd would show you the latest xkcd comic. You can also update Davvo's game and eventually, I will be adding a /weather module for him. Now for a little guide on creating your own bot:

Update

I've noticed that I haven't been posting to the site much for a while which disappoints me because the whole idea of this site was to allow people to easily see what I was up to and this hasn't been happening as I have liked. Since my last post about EURO 2 (which is here on YouTube), I have been up to a lot of things which I will briefly outline below.

  • I have made a lot of progress coding wise and I have made a perfectly functional Discord bot which I now use on my discord server and I am working to improve it and get it into full time use.
  • I have also been on a couple of holidays, which again can be found on my YouTube channel including a mini road trip around Somerset and Devon and a week long holiday with my dad's side of the family.
  • As I am writing this post, I am trying to think of things that I can post and do for the blog but I will be adding many more things soon.

EURO 2 - Days 3 & 4

In the morning of the Tuesday, we woke up to a broken hard drive :( which was not good at all. We were very chilly in the morning and so it was a welcome surprise when the sun came out. We spent the morning at the campsite and did some droning before we set off on a short journey to a place which was about an hour south of Cléuger.

EURO 2 - Days 1 & 2

So on friday night (7th April), my dad, my brother and I embarked on a journey of a lifetime. (Just kidding).

We set off on friday at about 5pm, ready to get to the port of newhaven for 11. We had McDonalds and prepared for the 3 hours of sleep which we'd be lucky to get on the ferry. At around 4 in the morning, we got off the ferry and drove for about an hour to a small Aire in the middle of nowhere where we managed to get another couple of hours sleep.

Hacksoton

Welcome to my post on Hacksoton! Today I will be giving you a summary of what I got up to at the Southampton coding event.

To start things off, we arrived promptly at 9:30 when the doors were due to open and were welcomed by all of the organisers who gave us our name badges and food cards. The food cards were completely free and could be exchanged for a bacon & egg roll (breakfast), a sandwich, some crisps and some fruit. Dinner was burritos (chicken, beef or veggie) which were all very tasty.

Creating a Successful Online Radio Station

In today's post I am going to be explaining just how to make an online radio station.

Naming & Website

The first thing I did was to pick a genre for my station. For example, I like chillout music and drum and bass. i had a quick search on YouTube and I found some tracks that I liked to listen to. I then went on to ovh.co.uk and had a look at a domain for my station. I had decided to call my station 'Just Chill DnB' and I thought I could get the domain justchilldnb.com, then I tried to cut down on the characters in the domain and eventually got chilldnb.com. After that, I registered the domain for a year, which set me back £8 (~$10).
