UNO Bot

Telegram Bot that allows you to play the popular card game UNO via inline queries. The bot currently runs as @unobot.

To run the bot yourself, you will need:

• Python (tested with 3.4+)
• The python-telegram-bot module
• Pony ORM

Setup

• Get a bot token from @BotFather and change configurations in config.json.
• Convert all language files from .po files to .mo by executing the bash script compile.sh located in the locales folder. Another option is: find . -maxdepth 2 -type d -name 'LC_MESSAGES' -exec bash -c 'msgfmt {}/unobot.po -o {}/unobot.mo' \;.
• Use /setinline and /setinlinefeedback with BotFather for your bot.
• Install requirements (using a virtualenv is recommended): pip install -r requirements.txt

You can change some gameplay parameters like turn times, minimum amount of players and default gamemode in config.json. Current gamemodes available: classic, fast and wild. Check the details with the /modes command.

Then run the bot with python3 bot.py.

Code documentation is minimal but there.
