TODO

This project is just the result of a bored holiday, I am by no means a professional Python or LUA developer so I apologise for the very scuffed code you have just stumbled upon, this was a huge learning experience and it goes without saying that this code comes with no warranty.

• This bot is very much in ALPHA - you will almost definitely run into bugs! If you decide to run this, please provide feedback and report bugs in Discord #⁠bot-support❓ channel
• It is possible to run the bot with unthrottled speedup, most shiny hunting methods will work at unthrottled speeds but you'll be more prone to getting stuck
• Only tested and confirmed working on Windows
• Only 1 bot instance can run at a time (for now)

See the (Milestones page) for this repo.
