Made a Mastodon bot using Mastodon.PY and I’m so happy it works! 😅

I just got this random idea in my head and decided to see if I could create it, so I built a working slots that uses the 4 image uploads to show the results. It will automatically grant you 10000 Coins the first time and playing costs 50 coins per play. The prices go from 25 to 750, every play adds 25 into the jackpot that starts at 500 when it gets won and 4 jokers will give jackpot. It will say the results in text too and it saves all wallet-amounts to file too which it can load back on restart however it gets killed. 😅

Sorry, just wanted to share this somewhere. 😅 I hope it’s fine here.

I am however not really promoting it, not even sure how it will do under pressure (probably get throttled by Mastodon eventually) and it might either stop working or switch account to one of it’s own (it’s currently just using a personal infobot for testing) depending how it goes… I’m assuming if I give it a 5 plays per day per user limit it could be manageable… 🤷‍♂️

(If you still want to try it, please do not abuse or spam it or I will have to take it offline, but the command to play on Mastodon is: “@infobot@fed.ggtm.eu !slots”

Anyway, thanks for reading about my victory! 😅

    This is kind of a weird response to make to someone’s first project. I don’t know about you, but I honestly don’t pay any attention to the images and whatnot I use in a small personal project, I just use whatever I have.

    The interesting thing here is that OP built a thing and wants to share it. As OP mentioned elsewhere, the images can be easily replaced with something else, yet you jumped to criticism instead of asking. That seems kinda weird to me.

    My coworker shared a game they made with the broader team, and while they game had lots of glaring issues (e.g. controls sucked, graphics were basic, etc, but hey, gender was balanced), the team was consistently supportive because this was something they had never done before. My response was to merely ask constructive questions, like what they found most challenging, what they’d like to work on next, etc.

    So yeah, I guess I’m surprised that you decided pointing out the gender of the two people in the images was the most constructive thing you could post about. That is all.

      The images can be easily replaced with something else, yet OP used nsfw pics instead of whatever. That seems kinda weird to me.

      the team was consistently supportive

      There is a certain correlation with the use of borderline pornographic content, you know? I dare you to present OPs project at work.

        They’re not nsfw. They’re not my first choice, but I wouldn’t be all that embarrassed if a coworker saw it. I see women (and men for that matter) in more revealing attire exercising in public, it’s really not an issue.

            That one is certainly more risqué, but I don’t consider it pornographic. While I’d be a little embarrassed (esp since I work with a few women within eyeshot), I don’t think I’d get into any trouble, provided I don’t linger on the pictures.

            That said, it seems the only way you get to it is by actually using the app and getting the jackpot. From the initial post and landing page, it’s obvious the kind of pictures OP would be using, so I would just not actually try out the app at work.
