Inspiration

No specific software or product really inspired this design. Instead, we were inspired by the lack of a similar, popular, product that integrates Steam functionality into Discord. We all use both Discord and Steam and we thought it would be a fun idea to create a software project that merges those two spheres into one place. We hope to improve on this initial design at a later date and maybe incorporate it into some of our private servers

What it does

The project is a Discord bot that integrates Steam API into Discord. This allows users to race other users to attain achievements.

How we built it

The Discord bot integrates Steam API, Discord API, and a mySQL database to create friendly competition. We used Python for this project, primarily for the backend of the Discord bot.

Challenges we ran into

Some of the large challenges that we had to overcome, is that Steam's API went down on Saturday for a few hours disallowing us to debug the Steam API.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Some of our milestone achievements are:

  1. Getting the bot to talk in the discord chat.
  2. Connecting an SQL database to the backend.
  3. Getting Steam API to work.
  4. Implementation of Embed messages ## What we learned Our Club has been saying for a few months now that we want to make a discord bot, and well now we know how to build one. Some of our group members got exposed to languages such as Python, and SQL. ## What's next for Scrimbo We believe that we will use this bot when it gets scaled for release. The next steps would be to implement logic checks, more error reduction, and build the bot to be hosted on a server.
