Thought I should learn some Python, so here's a Discord bot that runs the classic Linux fortune | cowsay, randomly choosing an animal and posting the result as an image. The reason it's an image rather than text is to avoid funky character limits and ensure it draws properly.
To use Fortune Bot, run main.py with a local token for a Discord bot with reading and posting permissions and then have anyone post !fortune.
- Python 3.8.10
- discord.py
python3.8 -m pip install -U discord.py - Pillow
python3.8 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow - fortune and cowsay
sudo apt install fortune-mod cowsay
