Why this is here
These aren't serious projects, and that's exactly why they matter: they're the reason I learned to program. Each one solves a tiny problem nobody else had.
What it is
Discord bots for communities I'm part of, and Minecraft datapacks that add recipes and mechanics to the base game.
What I got out of it
- 01
Fido — multi-purpose bot
Automatic moderation, fun commands and admin tools for a community of about a hundred members. The first place I had to deal with users who weren't me, and therefore with unpredictable input.
- 02
Minecraft datapacks
Custom recipes, loot tables and mechanics added to the game without touching the client. An interesting constraint: everything has to fit inside the game's data format, without a single line of real code.
- 03
Assorted bots and tools
A Discord shop, automation scripts, Arduino experiments back in school. Plenty were never finished, which is a kind of result too.
