Codeforces cogs

• Codeforces Commands that can recommend problems or contests to users, taking their rating into account.
• Contests Shows details of upcoming/running contests.

Installation

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/cheran-senthil/TLE

Now all dependencies need to be installed. TLE uses Poetry to manage dependencies. After installing Poetry navigate to the root of the repo and run

poetry install

You will need to setup a bot on your server before continuing, follow the directions here. Following this you should have your bot appearing in your server and you should have the Discord bot token.

To start TLE export the token as an environment variable

export BOT_TOKEN="<BOT_TOKEN_FROM_DISCORD_CONSOLE>"

and run using Python 3.7 or later

poetry run python -m tle

Notes

• In order to run admin-only commands you need to have the Admin role, which needs to be created in your Discord server and assign it to yourself/other administrators.
• In order to prevent the bot suggesting an author's problems to the author a python file needs to be run (since this can not be done through the Codeforces API) which will save the authors for specific contests to a file. To do this run python extra/scrape_cf_contest_writers.py which will generate a JSON file which should be placed in the /files folder.
• One of the bot's features is to assign roles to users based on their rating on Codeforces. In order for this functionality to work properly the following roles need to exist in your Discord server
  • Newbie
  • Pupil
  • Specialist
  • Expert
  • Candidate Master
  • Master
  • International Master
  • Grandmaster
  • International Grandmaster
  • Legendary Grandmaster

Usage

In order to run bot commands you can either ping the bot at the beginning of the command or prefix the command with a semicolon (;), e.g. ;handle pretty.

In order to find available commands you can run ;help which will bring a list of commands/groups of commands which are available. To get more details about a specific command you can type ;help <command-name>.
