Adding to a server

You can either self-host trivia-bot, or use the hosted version.

Trivia Questions

Questions are obtained from trivia-db on Sourceforge.

To parse the .txt question files, place them in /data_management/questions/ then run LoadDB.cpp. You need to create the database first. Use the included schema and create the database as /bot/db/trivia.db.
