Discord RaceBot is a Discord bot used to manage speedrun races. It is similar in functionality to SpeedRunsLive, an IRC-based speedrun race service.

Discord RaceBot was developed in C# using .NET Core 2.2. It uses the Discord.NET API wrapper for interfacing with Discord, and uses a MySQL database for storing race and entry data.

I built Discord RaceBot back in 2019, before I really understood principles of writing clean, maintainable, and scalable code. As such, RaceBot's code base is quite a mess. In addition, I made RaceBot at a time when there wasn't really a good alternative to the dated SpeedRunsLive IRC platform. Since RaceBot came into being, racetime.gg has become the premier video game race platform, and it does so better than SRL or my own Discord racebot ever could dream of.

Based on these facts, I have no plans to continue development on Discord RaceBot. I will leave the code here on GitHub in case it can benefit someone else, but I don't expect that I will be making any further updates.

Thank you to everyone who participated in races and submitted feedback. This was a fun project to work on, and I believe it helped me break into a career that I truly enjoy (despite the fact I had no idea what I was doing when I built it).
