🤖 StrachyBot is back

After an incredible three and a half years, StrachyBot is back—this time much better, more reliable, and, above all, more fun. If you have any ideas for additions or tweaks, don’t hesitate to contact me. 😉

What’s changed:

• Rewrote about 90% of the code and adjusted the structure for better stability and easier development of new mini-games
• Active games are now saved to a database instead of a JSON file to prevent issues with simultaneous file editing
• The database is automatically backed up daily
• New /info command displaying basic bot information and changes since the last version
• Unified look for all icons and a new logo
• Seasonal emojis for multiplayer mini-games (currently applies only to Tic-Tac-Toe)
• All mini-games now have time limits; the timer automatically extends with every interaction (e.g., button press)

Wordle 2.0

• /wordle_play and /wordle_guess commands merged into a single /wordle command
• Cleaner UI displaying used words and featuring new buttons: Enter Word, Random Word, and Give Up
• Daily Challenge – a random word is selected daily (same for everyone); guesses and used letters are hidden so multiple players can play simultaneously without spoilers

Tic-Tac-Toe 2.0

• Play against Bot (Auto-play) – when playing against any bot (e.g., @StrachyBot), the best possible move is automatically selected for the bot
• Clearer display of game status and whose turn it is

Quiz (Trivia)

• New trivia game with questions drawn from 25 different categories (e.g., geography, history, general knowledge, sports, movies, etc.) and 3 difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard)
• This game replaced the old Quote Guess mini-game, which involved guessing quotes from anime.
