Beatrice

A simple Discord bot, which shows the server status of the Lost Ark server Beatrice.

Example

Usage

1. Clone the repository.
2. Edit the property files in the resources folder.
3. Change the file extensions of the property files to .properties.
4. Build the .jar with maven mvn package Note: the project is written, build and tested with java 17, but may work with older versions too.
5. Deploy and enjoy :)

How it works

1. Fetch the current server status from the unofficial Lost Ark API.
2. Display the status in the presence of the Discord bot using JDA.
3. Save the status to a MySQL database with HikariCP.

Why was this project created?

First of, this project was a way for me to get in contact with new ecosystems and learn about them, despite that it doesn't really have a use.

The thing I've learned the most about was SQL, I haven't ever set up a database or even written a single line of SQL, but I've worked with SQL databases on other projects in the past and even had I descend understanding of them. So I created this project as a way to get more familiar with it and collect some experience.

Besides, that I also focused on documentation, for example I used JavaDoc throughout the project, as well as this README.
