create and run your first discord.py bot!

this is a guide on how to make your first discord bot using discord.py. we will also go over a simple command for your bot.

my first medium article is live now! we will be going through how to create the most bare-bones discord.py bot out there. this is a tutorial for very new beginners of discord.py, so if you have made a discord bot before, this may not be the tutorial for you. i will have more coming out in the coming weeks, so please stay tuned!

here are some code snippets from the tutorial :

there weren't many to choose from unfortunately...but in future tutorials i will definitely have quite a few!

well anyways guys. i'm glad i could tear myself away from my new red dead addiction to get this out there for you. i will be teasing the next tutorial soon...and that will be a lot more fun than this simple old bot here. we love tobey though, he's a good bot.

thanks for checking it out! consider giving my github and medium a follow if you're interested in these discord tutorials. i'll be linking them here on tumblr, but will be posting those on medium.

thanks for checking it out! i'm off for some apex.

Make a Tarot Discord Bot!

A guide to make a Discord.py bot with a tarot card reading command. Part 2 of Pip’s Discord.py series.

It is time! My tutorial has been live since this morning but i have finally crawled out of bed for coffee and am now functioning.

once again i am just so proud and excited to show this tutorial to you. it is based off of just one function i have built in my personal tarot bot named grimalkin. if this tutorial is any fun to you, let me know and i’ll write more on the other commands grimalkin-bot has!

thanks for all of your support. i will see you soon with a new one!

I have officially scheduled the jinx-bot tutorial for tomorrow morning! any guesses on what the command will be?

I am so proud to release this tutorial as from conception to frankenstein moment, it is my mind's baby lol. the bot I am basing jinx-bot off of was my first independent discord.py bot and will be have more of its commands featured in tutorials in the future.

more to come soon!

SO! gonna do another poll right now for a bot name.

but this is really just to get a name on a future bot i’ll do a tutorial on because i came up with an idea for a bot just now 😂 so this is not going to be for our next tutorial but i want a name so i don’t have to edit it when i start writing the tutorial and code.

the theme is: wildflowers! 🌸🌺🌼

as always, comment below if you hate my names. i’ll do the math. even if i don’t want to. lol.

what are we feeling for next tutorials friends?

any themes, commands, requests?

a few topics i know i want to go over soon :

embeds

cogs

reaction commands

other than that though, i really just want to get a read on those who would actually want specific tutorials on things. even if it’s not discord.py or discord bot related. just wanting to know your thoughts!!

hey friends,

currently on my way to my hometown for the doctors appointment i mentioned. getting poked tomorrow and will hopefully have some results same day or by monday. once i’m back from the trip i will be back to posting normally for you guys. i’m sorry this week has been lacking, i had to prioritize my health for the week.

love you all and will be back with more soon!

[the-pipistrelle]

thank you all for all of your love. i know this may be a small achievement to some, but i am really glad to have a warm welcome back to tumblr. i used to run a different account a while ago on a whole different corner than tumblr that was unfortunately hacked and is gone forever.

it means the world to me that there are 100 times something i created was cool enough to throw a like. love y’all.

i do have some news. not great. i have a surprise visit back to my hometown to follow up on some liver and thyroid tests this week and will need to postpone my tutorials and coding posts for the week while i focus on my health. i will stay active as much as i can, but it will likely be different content than normal.

anyways! thanks again so so much. i hope you guys continue to follow me on this strange and exciting journey. love you guys. i’ll be back with more soon.
