I made a Discord bot in Python.

I am what you would call "programming interested" not a "programmer" and while I have been muddling through learning C for a few months now I decided to give python a look for fun.

Literally one book later I had the skills required to start making thinks. Which was nice.

So with that in mind. I created a Discord bot. I mean, I say "I created a discord bot" but the reality here is that I cobbled together commands based on the heavy lifting done by the excellent Discord.py framework (is framework the right word?) From what I understand that's how most Python programs are though so *shrug* I guess.

If you want to look at my amateurish and janky code you can do so here:

RobotSnake on my Git instance.

I tried to keep it as simple as I could at there are some things I know I need to fix/change but it works!

If anyone is curious about my book. It was PYTHON:
