- Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/minesweeper-discord.git - Install the required library:
pip install requests
- Open the script and replace
"[INSERT YOUR WEBHOOK URL HERE]"with your actual Discord webhook URL. - Run the script:
python minesweeper_discord.py - The script will generate a Minesweeper game and send it to your specified Discord channel.
To automatically generate and send Minesweeper games at regular intervals, you can set up a cronjob. Here's how to do it on a Unix-based system:
-
Open your crontab file:
crontab -e -
Add a new line to schedule the script. For example, to run it every day at 3:00 PM:
0 15 * * * /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/your/minesweeper_discord.pyAdjust the timing and path as needed.
-
Save and exit the crontab editor.
Make sure the script has the necessary permissions to execute, and that the full path to both Python and your script are correctly specified.
Note: When running as a cronjob, ensure that any required environment variables (like API keys) are properly set or included in the script.
Important: Be mindful of Discord's rate limits and your server's rules when setting up automated posts.
You can customize the Minesweeper game by modifying the parameters in the generate_minesweeper() function call:
rows: Number of rows in the game board (default: 9)columns: Number of columns in the game board (default: 9)mines: Number of mines to place on the board (default: 10)emoji: The emoji to use for mines (default: '💣')
