Cat Care Bot

Inspiration

Tamagochi games

What it does

Using slash commands the user is able to care for the cat.

How we built it

Using Python and the discord.py library, we created slash commands for users to buy items, feed the cat, and pet the cat.

Challenges we ran into

We originally had the idea of each user having their own cats which they took care of. We realized that this wouldn't be achievable with our knowledge and time frame, so we stayed with having the bot as the cat that is taken care of by everyone. During the process, we struggled a bit with understanding how to use the discord library and the formatting.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Some accomplishments we achieved were small milestones that helped us better understand the library and how to better use it. An example of this would be creating buttons for the user to interact with. Unfortunately, we were unable to figure out a way to implement it the way we would have liked but are proud with what we were able to do.

What we learned

Throughout this process, we learned how to use parts of the discord library. We had to do a lot of research and understanding of it in order to use it. Not only that, but we also learned how to use various different applications and websites such as GitHub, VS code, and more. Learning all these things was very time consuming, but we were able to learn from our mistakes as we created this bot.

What's next for Caring Cat

Caring Cat will have its own stats such as Happiness, Hunger, Thirst, and Illness. These statics will be affected based on the how the users choose to interact with the Cat. For example, feeding the cat certain items will raise its happiness by x amount, depending on the item, but overfeeding the cat would result in it getting sick. OR over petting the cat will cause it to become angry. Another feature we would like to include is having the Cat be able to read messages within the chat and respond.
