This was a silly project I made to spice up a facebook chat group with my friends. The bots acted similarly to discord bots and was activated using text commands. Commands:
- !8ball: should actually be called "magic ball". When typed, the bot would select a random phrase from a list and return it, similarly to a magic ball.
- !spiker: return a link to spiker, google drive link with study materials.
- !power: would return a random super power. The whole bot idea started from this.
- !coinflip: simple 50-50 coinflip
- !iq: this was the most complicated command. The main gist was you can set nicknames of people in a group chat, so what if you could somehow keep a score in those nicknames. So the idea was that if you did something dumb you would lose iq points, if you did something smart you would gain iq points, starting at 200IQ.
The project fell apart when i created another facebook account to act as a bot, the problem was that up till now i was hosting the code on my computer and was acting as a bot. So if i was offline, the bot was also offline. Hosting it on heroku and having another account was a solution for that. The problem was that heroku hosted the code in the USA and facebook recognized that something fishy was going on, so they suspended the bot account.
