This repository contains a simple Discord bot written in Python. The bot listens for messages in a Discord server and responds based on predefined responses. It can also handle private messages.

• Responds to user messages with predefined replies.
• Can distinguish between public and private messages.
• Simple command set including greeting, providing sample Python code, and rolling a dice.

• Python 3.12.4 .
• A Discord account & a bot token.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/youssefjabri/Discord-Bot-Python.git
   cd Discord-Bot-Python

2. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set up your .env file:

   Create a .env file in the root directory of the project and add your Discord bot token:

   DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token_here

1. Run the bot:

   python main.py

2. Interact with the bot:

   • Send a message containing "hello" and the bot will respond with "Hello there!"
   • Ask for a simple Python code snippet with "give me a simple code with python" and the bot will provide a basic example.
   • Request a dice roll with "roll dice" and the bot will simulate rolling a dice.
   • The bot will respond with a generic message if it doesn't understand the input.

• main.py: Main script that sets up the Discord bot and handles message events.
• Responses.py: Contains logic for generating responses based on user messages.
• requirements.txt: Lists the dependencies required for the project.
• .env: File containing environment variables, specifically the Discord bot token.

This script initializes and runs the Discord bot. It contains the following main sections:

1. Load environment variables from .env file:

   load_dotenv()
   TOKEN: Final[str] = os.getenv('DISCORD_TOKEN')

2. Configure Discord intents and create the client:

   intents: Intents = Intents.default()
   intents.message_content = True
   client: Client = Client(intents=intents)

3. Function to send messages in response to users:

   async def send_message(message: Message, user_message: str) -> None:

4. Event triggered when the bot is ready:

   @client.event
   async def on_ready() -> None:

5. Event triggered with each new message:

   @client.event
   async def on_message(message: Message) -> None:

6. Run the bot:

   def main() -> None:
       client.run(TOKEN)
   
   if __name__ == '__main__':
       main()

This script contains the get_response function which processes user input and returns appropriate responses.

from random import choice, randint

def get_response(user_input: str) -> str:
    lowered: str = user_input.lower()
    if lowered == '':
        return "Well you're awfully silent"
    elif 'hello' in lowered:
        return 'Hello there!'
    elif 'give me a simple code with python' in lowered:
        return '`print("Hello World!")`'
    elif 'roll dice' in lowered:
        return f'You rolled: {randint(1, 6)}'
    else:
        return choice([
            "I don't understand",
            "What are you talking about?",
        ])

Lists the dependencies required for the project:

python-dotenv
discord

Stores the Discord bot token:

DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token_here
