Making a Bot
I finally got my inhouse bot up and running
It is a pretty simple thing. I run weekly 5v5 League of Legends (the video game) inhouses via custom games and discord. I built a bot that would automate the recruitment, team forming, and even created a system for elo gains/losses for balance sake. It is not really that impressive of a project. It is not hooken into any LLM (the free server hosting I am running would probably charge me due to the compute cost). I have considered making it into a MCP server so that I can run a local LLM on my personal computer and have it do more impressive computations... TBD?
What strikes me about this project is that it has brought back my love for programming
Now I know what you are thinking, why on earth would I be a programmer if I was not in love with it? I have always liked programming, but what does it mean to actually be in love with it? I answered that question when as soon as I have come home from work or I have free time, I wanted to make enhancements. I wanted to program even after studying for school, even after putting in a full work shift.
What does that mean? Are you going to be working on personal projects all of the time now?
Nah, probably not. I have been neglecting my school work (still on track but I like to do extra studying) in favor of working on this. I have even more enhancements that I would like to make in the future, but I think this release cycle is good enough until I gather more feedback.
