Bosco is a free, open-source Discord bot and companion for Deep Rock Galactic players. It can fetch weekly Deep Dives, provide random DRG trivia, and more!

bosco's Issues

Setup instructions are not Windows or MacOS frendly

Hey! Current setup guide assumes that developer uses Linux-based system which is usually not the case. While it is not a technical limitation merely seems to me it's only a desire to use shell scripts for some reason.

For example setup script can just be a set of commands:

pip install pipenv
cd src # this can even be removed if Pipfile is not in src, because why would it even not be in root?
pipenv install --dev

And run script can just be:

pipenv run python src/bot.py

These shell scripts are nice simplification but only for Linux users

Refactor Logging

Define a new logger object in bot.py that will write logs to a file called bot.log. Inject this logger into the downstream services (RedditService, SaluteService, TriviaService) and refactor all print statements to use this new logger.

Docs:

• Python Logger
• Discord.py Logging

Create DRGService

Per this Reddit comment, the poster of the weekly deep dive Reddit thread is retiring from their duties. This means the format and/or method of consumption of the weekly deep dive information may change. There are discussions of who will be the new poster, and one commenter even asked if GSG could expose a dedicated DRG API for fetching this information directly.

Depending on which method is used moving forward, the Reddit Service in this project may be impacted and/or a new service may need to be created.

Now that DRG API is live, refactor the services (RedditService, SaluteService, TriviaService) to a single DRGService which calls this API (docs).

Enhance Rich Presence

Pass an enhanced Activity object into the change_presence function. Add DRG-related images, text, and other resources to improve the look and feel of Bosco's presence. At a minimum, add the following:

• application_id (428054228511227914 according to this)
• assets
• details
• large_image_text
• large_image_url
• name
• small_image_text
• small_image_url
• state
• type
• url

Add Unit Tests

Add unit tests with pytest for the following in the src/tests directory:

• service/drg.py
• util/date.py

Automated deep dive report

Would it be possible for bosco to automatically announce the deep dives as they drop? That would be cool.

Add More Trivia

We need to add more trivia to TriviaService for the /trivia command, as there are currently only two facts there. Perhaps we can scrape some trivia from the Deep Rock Galactic Wiki?

Add slash commands to Bosco's BIO

Feature

Add slash commands to Bosco's BIO for quick recall of commands without having to type them.
Not to be confused with "try my commands" section, because the bot must be verified (be on 70+ servers) in order to use it.

Implementation

To do this, in the Discord Developer Portal, add commands and their IDs to the bot description. To get ID of command needs to type command and then click on it with right mouse button and copy ID

Example:
</(command-name):(command-ID)>

**TRY MY COMMANDS**

Mineral Trade Daily Deals

Any possibility of adding the mineral trade daily deal to the bot? Would be super handy to see what the deal is without having to launch daily if it ends up being not worth it. Autoposting on reset would be nice to see as well
