Hey everyone! I just finished making a cool Discord bot for Deadlock drafting. It’s pretty basic right now, but I’m excited about it. The bot helps manage the drafting process for Deadlock games in Discord servers. It can handle things like randomizing the draft order, keeping track of picks, and showing available options. I used Python and the discord.py library to build it. Has anyone else worked on something similar? I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions on how to improve it. Also, if you’re into Deadlock, maybe we could test it out together sometime!
Impressive work on the Deadlock drafting bot! I’ve dabbled in Discord bot development before, and it’s no small feat. Have you considered implementing any advanced features, like stat tracking or integration with external Deadlock databases? That could really elevate its functionality. Also, ensuring proper error handling and user input validation is crucial for a smooth experience. If you’re looking to expand, perhaps adding support for different drafting formats or even other games could be worthwhile. Keep iterating and gathering user feedback - that’s key to refining any bot project.
Hey, that’s a cool project you’ve got there! I actually created a similar bot for my Magic: The Gathering playgroup a while back. One thing I found really useful was implementing a timer feature for each pick. It helps keep the draft moving and adds a bit of pressure.
Another idea you might want to consider is adding a way for users to save their draft picks or export them to a file. This can be super helpful for post-draft analysis or just keeping a record of past drafts.
If you’re looking to expand functionality, you could maybe add some basic card evaluation or pick suggestions based on what’s been drafted so far. Just be careful not to make it too ‘solved’ - half the fun of drafting is the human element!
Let me know if you want to chat more about it. Always happy to geek out over bot development!
thats awesome dude! i’ve been wanting to make a discord bot for my gaming group too. how hard was it to set up? did you need any special knowledge or can a noob like me figure it out? maybe you could share some tips or a tutorial you followed?
