Points System Bot

A gamification bot that tracks user points with persistent storage.

Code

bot name "PointsPal"
bot prefix "!"
bot token from env "DISCORD_TOKEN"

on ready:
    say "PointsPal is tracking points." in channel "bot-status"

on command "addpoints":
    let current = load user.id points or 0
    store user.id points = current + 10
    let newPoints = load user.id points or 0
    reply "Nice, {user.username}! You now have {newPoints} points."

on command "points":
    let userPoints = load user.id points or 0
    reply "{user.username}, you have {userPoints} points."

on command "leaderboard":
    for each member in server.members:
        let memberPoints = load member.id points or 0
        say "{member.user.username}: {memberPoints} points" in channel "bot-commands"

What It Does

• !addpoints - Adds 10 points to the user
• !points - Shows the user's current point total
• !leaderboard - Lists all members and their points
• Points persist across bot restarts using SQLite

Key Concepts

Persistent Storage

let current = load user.id points or 0
store user.id points = current + 10

• load retrieves stored values
• store saves values to the database
• or 0 provides a default for new users

Iteration

for each member in server.members:
    let memberPoints = load member.id points or 0
    say "{member.user.username}: {memberPoints} points"

• Iterates over all server members
• Loads and displays each member's points

How to Run

cd points-bot
npm install
