A discord bot virtual puzzle room for a Tehillah Easter Event

Usage

1. Follow this guide until step 4 - https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/how-to-make-a-discord-bot/
2. Create a file in the root folder named auth.json and paste the following: { "token": "YOUR_BOTS_AUTH_TOKEN" }
3. replace YOUR_BOTS_AUTH_TOKEN with the auth token you got in step 3 of the guide above
4. run: npm install
5. Create the following text channels - master, answerLog, team1, team2, team3, team4, team5, team6, team7, team8
6. Find the channel IDs for them (see below) and add them to the code, replacing the IDs as appropriate in bot.js
7. Set up networking (see below)
8. run: node server.js
9. run: node bot.js
10. type !startgame into master to start the game, then remember to start all answers with an '!'

Warning - typing any answers into answerLog, master after you started the game, or any other text channel not listed above will crash the bot.

Finding channel IDs

1. Run generateID.js
2. type an answer into each of the text channels you want to find the IDs for - e.g. !test
3. The console will log the channel IDs
4. Terminate generateID.js before running bot.js

Set up networking

• The game is hosted on port 3000 internally by default, you will need to forward this port to port 80 externally so it is accessible externally with browsers
• The domain name I used was 'http://tehillaheaster2020.xyz', change this to your own domain. If you don't have a domain name, just change it to your external IP address (https://www.whatismyip.com/what-is-my-public-ip-address/)
