Other Projects / Experiments
Small, side projects. These are all solo projects.
Discord Impersonator Bots
These bots would sit in a channel, and whenever someone joined, would play a voice line recorded by the person the bot is based off of, greeting the person who just joined. When you're not expecting the person to be a bot, it looks and sounds just like a regular person until they say nothing back to you when you try and talk to them.
​
They were kept a secret, and for each person that got caught out, we recorded voice lines from them for various greetings for specific people, and a few general greetings for anyone else. In the end I had 6 fully voiced bots that would specifically greet 10 different people on top of having generic greetings to anyone outside of those 10 people.
​
These bots took a couple of days to create, were made with python, and serve to do nothing more than confuse people.
Yakuza Friday Bot
Based on the Twitter bot of the same activity, This bot sends out the same video to a select group of people every Friday.
​
This was the first Discord bot I had created, and was made with Python in two days. It's hosted online, and has been sending us all messages at 6pm every Friday for a year and a half at the time of writing. I don't know the password to the account it is hosted on anymore and I don't dare do anything that might stop it at this point.
​
Update: As of November 2022, the bot is no longer up. The site it was hosted on removed it's free plans and the cheapest plan wasn't really worth it for what the bot did.
