Hey everyone! My buddy and I are super excited to make a Discord bot for card collecting, but we’re totally lost on how to start. We’ve got some cool ideas, but zero coding experience. Yikes!
We want users to collect cards with our own custom images. How do we even begin to code that? And we know we need a database to keep track of everyone’s cards, but that’s way over our heads right now.
Anyone got any tips or resources for newbies like us? Maybe some tutorials or beginner-friendly guides? We’re ready to learn, just need a push in the right direction.
Oh, and if anyone’s made something similar before, we’d love to hear about your experience! What worked? What didn’t? Any pitfalls we should watch out for?
Thanks in advance for any help. We’re pumped to get this project off the ground!
yo! as a fellow noob, i feel ya. start with python, it’s easy peasy. check out discord.py lib for bot basics. for cards, look into PIL for image stuff. mongodb’s cool for databases. youtube’s got tons of tutorials. dive in, learn as u go. good luck, dudes!
Starting a Discord bot for card collecting is an ambitious project for beginners. I’d recommend breaking it down into smaller tasks. First, familiarize yourself with Discord’s API documentation. Then, choose a programming language - Python is popular for Discord bots due to its simplicity. Learn the basics of that language before diving into bot development.
For the card collection aspect, you’ll need to understand how to work with images and store data. Consider using a simple file system for storage initially, before tackling databases. Start with creating basic bot commands, then gradually add features like card generation and user inventories.
Remember, it’s a learning process. Don’t get discouraged if things don’t work immediately. Persistence and continuous learning are key. Good luck with your project!
Hey there! I’ve actually been down this road before, and let me tell you, it’s a wild ride. First off, kudos for taking on such an ambitious project - it’s gonna be a great learning experience.
My advice? Start small. Get a basic Discord bot up and running first. I used Node.js with the discord.js library, and it was pretty straightforward. Once you’ve got that, you can start adding features one by one.
For the card images, we used Canvas to generate them dynamically. It took some trial and error, but the results were worth it. As for the database, we went with MongoDB. It was a bit of a learning curve, but perfect for storing card collections.
One thing I wish we’d done differently? Testing. We didn’t do nearly enough, and it bit us later. So, test everything as you go.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you get stuck. The Discord developer community is super helpful. Good luck, and have fun with it!
