DevLog 2: Adding and Getting Students

I have built 3 endpoints:

• GET /students: Get the full list of students with their details from database.
• POST /students: Allows to add a student to database .
• GET /students/{scholar_number}: Allows to get the details of that specific student.

Scholar numbers are auto assigned: I coded it to get the latest scholar number from database and then add +1 to it and assign that for the details provided.

I have not added any authorisation, as this is just a learning project and may add later, before shipping I guess.

DevLog 1: Basics cleared and Learning started

I have started working on a new project that is School Management System. The basic setup is completed using Python FastAPI and MongoDB.

In this devlog, only testing and learning is done so no such update. Real development starts from today.

DevLog 11: Learned about Discord Selects and added a way to earn more coins!

• Lumen users can now apply for job.

• Users can work once in 24 hours.

• Payouts are done by random number within specific job’s range.

• Random messages are generated like: Job: Maid You washed a mountain of dishes without breaking a single one.

• Commands: !job apply & !job work

#DevLog 10: Learned more and more things, Lumen is better now!

Big updates:

• Lumen now uses Discord Views (Button Confirmation).
• !bank deactivate command is added to delete bank account permanently!
• !bank rob command is added where users can rob other users with a 45% chance of success, 25% of failure but escape and 30% chance of getting caught and fined by police.
• Cooldowns are added to prevent abuse of ROB command. Users can only use the command once in 2 hours.

Stay Tuned

DevLog 9: Spent more time on research and less on actually coding.

Added economy transfer system (works perfectly)

How it works:

• DataBase checks if both (sender and beneficiary) have active bank account.
• If yes, Database checks if amount is smaller than balance in sender’s balance
• If yes, Amount gets deducted from sender’s balance and added to beneficiary’s balance.
• Notification is sent for updates!

I hope you’ll find this cool because I did
Stay Tuned!

DevLog 8: Added Daily Reward system & Updated Coinflip!

Researched over more cool stuff that can be done using MongoDB and Discord.Py.
What I did today:

• Added a new command /bank daily which gives you a reward amount after every 24 hours. This amount is between 500 to 1000 Coins (competely random) and can be redeemed only once in 24 hours.
• Updated Coinflip command by added Economy system. If amount is added and you win, you get 2x added in your balance but if you lose, you get nothing. If amount is not added, it works same as before, just giving the result.

That’s all I could do today, having crazy plans for tomorrow!

DevLog 7: Lumen v1.1

I have started working on Lumen once again to add more cool commands. What I did today is:

• Finally added a Database
• AFK users are now stored in Database
• ECONOMY SYSTEM: Lumen is introducing economy system (bank currency), I have only added 2 commands (/bank create and /bank balance) for now, will add more soon.

Stay Tuned!

First DevLog, First Site

Stepped in web development and this is my first project. I used AI and Personal Site Guide to learn about HTML, CSS and JS. The first Commit only contains HTML and CSS not JS as I will make changes in future.

Contains 4 Sections: Hero, About Me, Projects, and Contact. All Simple, No advanced.

Simple Navbar is also added.

Last DevLog (before first ship): All commands are working perfectly!

All new commands are listed on Help menus and are accessible. Run !help or /help to see all commands!

Lumen is officially hosted and is active 24/7 for you guys to text out. I have also updated README.md for setup instructions (i tried my best to make it beginner friendly).

Join Lumen HQs (Discord Server) and test Lumen by youself!!

DevLog 5: This time utilized all my time perfectly xD.
This is going to be my last devlog before shipping this project (probably)
All updates coded:

1. Replaced all simple messages to embed messages (including errors like MissingPermissions) to make them cool probably
2. Added more fun and utility commands:

Utility Commands

• /afk -> Enables AFK Mode, whenever anyone mentions the user, bot tells that the user is in AFK mode with following reason.
• /avatar and /banner -> Fetches and displays user’s avatar (profile picture) and banner ofcourse in embed

Fun Commands

• /dice -> Rolls a dice of user-specified sides (default 6) and tells the result.
• /randomnum -> Chooses a random number from user-specified limits (minimum and maximum).
• /joke and /fact -> Fetches and displays random joke or fact from APIs.

Tomorrow, I will host the bot and do a last test before shipping. Wish me luck

DevLog 4: Again spent a lot of time in errors and taking command ideas from other popular bots.

Added a few commands:

• /help -> Displays a whole message like menu showing all the commands.
  /help <command> -> When typed a specific command infront of /help, it shows specific help and required arguments of that specific command.

• /role -> Adds/Removes specified role from specified user.

• /coinflip (or !cf)-> I thought to add some fun commands and this is the start. It flips a coin and tells the result. User can submit a guess and it shows if you won or lost. Kinda cool right ;)

Tomorrow, I will beautify the messages by completely replacing them with colourful embeds (they are cooler)

That’s it for today. Wish me luck for tomorrow.

DevLog 3: Spent most of my time in learning and exploring errors (too many errors) :P
Added more cool commands:

• /lock -> Locks the channel for default role
• /unlock -> Unlocks the channel for default role
• /clear -> Clears number of messages in a specific channel
• /nickname -> Allows to change nicknames of members of server
• /userinfo -> gives amazing information about user
• /serverinfo -> gives amazing information about server

And some more about moderation:

• /timeout -> Puts timeout to user for specified minutes
• /untimeout -> Removes active timeout from a user
• /unban -> Unbans a user id from server

Bot will be ready to be shipped really soon!!
This is my first time making a discord bot and I think I am doing great ;)

DevLog 2: Added more commands for moderation. Global error handling is setup and enhanced.
Added commands: ban and kick on both prefix and slash based.
Error Handlers added for checking permissions of user and bot, to check if member exists and to check if command exists.

Bot is working perfectly and is satisfactory!!

Made simple commands like ping and hello on both prefix and slash based!

Bot responding in minimum time and is satisfactory.
Coded in Python

Made my first slack bot! Added basic commands and ready to fly high into sky!
