DeckBot

Custom locally-run CAH bot for Discord that I made in a weekend.

Thanks to crhallberg for the CAHDeck JSON library and Reread Games for the ManyDecks format.

Requires:

• Bun
• Discord Developer Access
• Friends

Commands:

• /cah [max-points] - Start new game with given point limit in new thread of channel
• /play - Join game in thread
• /select [number(s)] - Select card(s) to play, or winner as Czar
• /add [code] - See below

How to run:

1. Clone repo
2. Install bun and run bun install
3. Make .env and fill the following values from Discord.dev Dashboard:

DISCORD_TOKEN=<TOKEN>
DISCORD_CLIENT_ID=<CLIENT_ID>
DISCORD_GUILD_ID=<GUILD>

4. Run bun run src/index.ts
5. Add to server
6. Play the game

How to add decks:

Easy method (ManyDecks):

1. Get a deck code from Many Decks.
2. Type /add <CODE> into Discord.

Harder method (ManyDecks & JSON Against Humanity):

1. Download deck file
   • JSON Against Humanity:
     • Go to the website, select your decks and download in 'full' format.
   • ManyDecks:
     • If you made the deck, login to ManyDecks go into the edit page for the deck and click "Download"
     • If you didn't make the deck, you can go to https://decks.rereadgames.com/api/decks/CODE (replace CODE with deck code) and download the .json5 file that appears in the browser
2. Drop in either src/decks/json or src/decks/manydecks based on source.
3. Reload bot
