This is a Discord bot for the famous game Secret Hitler. Secret Hitler is a game like werewolf or mafia. Every player gets a secret role: Liberal, Fascist or Hitler. The fascists know each other and try to install their cold-blooded leader. The liberals try to find and stop the secret hitler before it's too late.

You need 5-10 players to play this game. You can see the rules here: Click here for the rules!

This code implements the game in a discord bot, so you can play this game in discord!

Note that this project is still in development. There will be more features and bugfixes soon.

This discord bot is made in Python using pillow and discord.py

Ensure the following tools and libraries are installed.

1. Install Python 3.5 or higher (https://www.python.org/downloads/)
2. Install git. git is likely already installed on Unix or macOS, but you can get the latest command line git at https://git-scm.com/downloads. If you prefer a GUI, https://desktop.github.com/ is GitHub's GUI client, and there are many other GUI wrappers around git.
3. Install pillow, python-dotenv, and discord.py via

pip3 install pillow && pip3 install python-dotenv && pip3 install discord.py

You will need to create an application and bot on Discord at https://discord.com/developers/applications/ in order to generate an OAuth2 token for the SecretHitler app to send messages to the Discord API.

1. Open https://discord.com/developers/applications/ in a browser and click "New Application".
2. Click on the tile for your new application and optionally add an icon and description under the "General Information" section.
3. Open the "Bot" section and click "Add Bot". For development, disable "Public Bot" so that only you can add your bot to a server. Otherwise, anyone with the bot link can add it to a server.
4. Check the "Server Members" and "Message Content Intent" in the "Privileged Gateway Intents" section.
5. To generate a link to invite the bot to a server, go to the OAuth2/URL Generator section and click "Bot" under "Scopes". This opens a "Bot Permissions" panel. Enable "Manage Roles", "Manage Channels", and "Manage Expressions".
6. Paste the generated link into the browser address bar and go through the bot invitation flow. The bot is now invited to your server.

The application must be running for the Discord bot to be able to respond to commands from users in Discord. First, you must set up the code to use the OAuth2 token generated when you created the application on Discord's developer site. Open the "Bot" tab for the application on the Discord developer portal, and click the "Copy" button for the bot token, near the app icon.

In the home directory for the user that will run the application, create a .env file if one does not already exist. Add the following line to the .env file:

SECRET_HITLER_DISCORD_TOKEN=<app token copied from developer portal>

Paste the copied token string after the = and save the .env file. The application will read the token from the environment file.

Start the server by running:

python3 main.py

To start a game use /sh startgame private . A new game channel will be created. Execute /sh invite to add a player to this game. After all players joined the game will start.
