discord-text-rpg

A text rpg game meant for discord bot as UI. It can be run either as a discord bot or a command line text adventure game.

It is a hobby project. If you are interested in developement, feel free to add an issue or pull request.

Command line game

It requires python version 3.7 or above and packages from requirements-cli.txt (PyYAML, Lark).

To run the game:

• Run python3 code/main.py --world worlds/default cli
• Try it! Create player with start command, and try commands me or here to see what's going on and what else can you do! (help might be useful too)

Discord game

It requires python version 3.7 or above and packages from requirements.txt (PyYAML, Lark, discord).

To run the game:

• Prepare a discord bot that you want to use.
• Prepare configuration file - specify at least the bot token, but you may want to limit the game to a single channel or specify the prefix. See discord.sample.yaml for an example.
• Run python3 code/main.py --world worlds/default --client-config your-discord-config.yaml discord

WARNING: The game will reset if the program is reset. This will change in future version.

Progress:

For a list of features for future versions see [https://github.com/lychanl/discord-text-rpg/issues]

discord-text-rpg's Issues

State-based default action

possibly discord message splitting issue

Customizable tactics

Setting bot properties via discord

Consumables with bonuses

Chatting with NPCs

Glossary

Browser interface

Add browser interface as a possible interface (next to the CLI and Discord).

May require more issues, including:

• listing possible values for action arguments (likely)
• separate "output schema" for different interfaces (which could also prevent markdown formatting artifacts for CLI)

Type selection and names for nested objects

Quests

Administrative commands

Includes storing game state

Variable location visibility

Trading with other players

Support for fights with melee disabled

Persistent game state
