🤖 QuestBot

👷‍♂️ The project is under construction, a proper README will be added soon.

A C#-based Telegram bot for interactive communication with a soulless machine.

As is, it was used for creating a series of quizes for my best friend as a challenge for his Birthday. However, since it can send messages based on pre-defined triggers, it can be used for other human-machine communicative purposes.

The bot can send messages to the user in two ways: automatically and manually.

• For automatic communication, fill in the messages.json file with the text you want the user to receive. Format your messages text in HTML format.
• To send messages manually, send them directly to the bot via /forward command — bot will forward them to the user. E.g. /forward hello, stupid. Format your message text as plain text, or as RTF.

Preparation

• Clone project from GitHub:
  • git clone https://github.com/MrGauz/QuestBot.git;
• In Bot.cs, fill in the Bot token and Telegram IDs;
• Rename messages.json.example to messages.json and fill out the file with the messages you would want the user to receive;
• Launch the project and be amazed.

Message triggers

• sendAt triggers the message at a specific time, defined in 24h format;
• sendAtLocation triggers the message when the user sends a specific geolocation to the bot;
  • please be advised: the message will be triggered within a 100m radius of the specified location.
• sendOnText triggers the message after the bot receives a specific text from the user;
• nextAfter triggers the message after a time given in seconds;
  • nextName defines the ID of the message that needs to be sent after.

Notes

• Voice messages (OGG) should be encoded with Opus codec to play on Apple devices;
