poomer-discord

Overview

Prototype C++ Discord bot, that supports 2 features

• listens for /oomer command and replies, then 5 seconds later it sends a jpeg
• When one or more jpegs are dropped into a channel, it will read the jpeg, flip it vertically and send it back to the channel
• In both cases it will use @{user} in the reponse to notify the submitter

---

Technical details

• Uses DPP c++ lib for Discord comms
  • depends on openssl and zlib
• non blocking multi-threaded, so it can listen for other users sending /oomer command while spawning one or more threads to deal with jpeg replies
• jpeg image is stored as byte data in embedded_image.h to avoid an on disk jpeg.
