#trivia-bot 
A bot which provides a Trivia game for Discord.
Adding to a server
You can either self-host trivia-bot, or use the hosted version.
To invite the bot to your server use this invite link. It requires no special permissions at this time (only read/write to channels).
Installation
Releases are available for tagged versions. These are compiled on Ubuntu by Travis CI. To run on other systems you will need to compile yourself - a CMake configuration is included. Windows releases will happen one day.
If you want to install a version for which a release does not exist, you will also have to compile manually. Compilation instructions are available for Linux below.
Running
To run simply execute the program: ./TriviaBot
If you do not want to be prompted for your token every launch, provide it as an argument: ./TriviaBot {TOKEN}
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.
LoadDB.cpp takes some time to execute.
