This is a bot that monitors chats in which users sequentially 'increment' messages like 'AAAAA', and 'AAAAB' for fun. It will inform people if they're wrong.
We also have a counting chat that's bot enforced. This chat spun up as a joke, but I wanted to learn the Python bot framework. Seemed fun.
Yeah, probably.
We use the Python Telegram Bot Framework for API access.
The validation of the sequence itself takes place in the AlphaSequence class.
The validation of the message format takes place in the validate() method.
Config filename is config.ini and the format should be:
[DEFAULT]
RESPOND_CHAT = 99999999
WATCH_CHAT = 99999999
TOKEN = KEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEY
DICTIONARY_FILENAME = dictionary.txt
[DEBUG]
WATCH_CHAT = 99999999
RESPOND_CHAT = 99999999
TOKEN = KEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEY
DICTIONARY_FILENAME = dictionary.txt
Eventually, we'll store things like insults in there, too
Install the thing, with dev dependencies:
pip install -e .[develop]
Run the thing IN DEBUG MODE:
SequencerBot --debug
If you don't run it in debug mode horrible horrible things will happen.
