Run it locally#

Prerequisites#

uv
A bot token from the Discord Developer Portal (the Game Master app, then its Bot page)
The website’s API running on your computer

In the Developer Portal, turn on the Server Members and Message Content intents (these let the bot read who’s in the server and read message text for chat leveling). In your test server, give the bot Manage Events, and for the events forum also Manage Channels, Send Messages in Threads and Create Posts.

Steps#

Set these in a .env file or your shell:

DISCORD_TOKEN=...                   # from the Developer Portal
API_KEY=...                         # the same value as the website's API_KEY
API_URL=http://localhost:8000
WEB_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000  # used in links the bot posts
DISCORD_GUILD_ID=...                # optional: your test server, so slash commands show up at once

Install and run:
```
make install
make bot
```

Without DISCORD_GUILD_ID, new or changed slash commands can take up to an hour to show up everywhere, since Discord registers global commands slowly; a guild-scoped command shows up at once.
