* About
  TranslAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAtor   is   a  meme   bot   inspired   by  the   subreddit
  [[https://www.reddit.com/r/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/][r/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]].  What it  does is  translate a  sentence given  to it  by
  replacing  all  characters (except  whitespace)  into  As. That’s  it.  That’s
  literally it.

* Dependencies
  The only  dependency of translAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAtor is  [[https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py][Discord.py]] which powers
  the bot itself.

* Invite TranslAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAtor
  Maybe you do  not want to build the  bot itself, but instead you  just want to
  invite it  on your  server? I  got you  covered! You  can invite  the official
  instance of TranslAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAtor by clicking [[https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=647381498827243543&permissions=67584&scope=bot][here]]!

  Be    aware    though    that    I    cannot    ensure    24/7    uptime    of
  TranslAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAtor.  If  you notice  it  is  down,  shoot me  a  tweet
  (faster), a DM (fast, P'undrak#0001) or an email (slower).

* Running the project
  First, you will  need docker and docker-compose installed on  your machine. If
  they aren’t installed  yet, go check Docker’s or your  distro’s instruction on
  how to get them.

  To Run This Project, you will  only need the [[file:docker-compose.yml][docker-compose.yml]] file from this
  repository. You can get it by running the following command on your machine:
  #+BEGIN_SRC sh
    wget -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phundrak/translaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaator/master/docker-compose.yml
  #+END_SRC
  Or you can clone the whole project if you wish.

  Due to obvious security  reasons, I am not giving away the token  of my bot in
  the source code, and you should not  either. This is why this project will try
  to get it  from your environment variables. To do  so, edit the docker-compose
  file to add the environment key `BOT_TOKEN`, like so:
  #+BEGIN_SRC yaml
    version: '3'
    services:
      bot:
        image: phundrak/translaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaator:latest
        command: python translaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaator.py
        environment:
          - BOT_TOKEN=yourtoken
  #+END_SRC
  You can  now run  the project  within a contained  environment by  running the
  following command:
  #+BEGIN_SRC sh
    docker-compose up
  #+END_SRC
  If you  wish to  have it  detached from your  terminal, you  can add  the `-d`
  switch to the command:
  #+BEGIN_SRC sh
    docker-compose up -d
  #+END_SRC
  And that’s it! Your bot should be up and running once your container is built,
  which  happens  only the  first  time  you launch  it.  If  you want  to  stop
  TranslAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAtor,  simply  hit  ~Ctrl-c~  in your  terminal  if  you
  haven’t detached the process, or run ~docker-compose down~ if you did.

* Licence
  This project  is under  the free  GPLv3 licence. You  can find  the complete
  licence in [[file:LICENCE.org]].

* Contributing
  Submit a pull  request, and I’ll review  it when I’ll have time  to (this is
  not a project I  will pour a lot of efforts into). Simply  be aware that I’d
  prefer it  if your code is  written with meaningful variables  (I should fix
  that), comments (I should fix that),  and be aware that readability is above
  all. Also,  don’t be an  asshole (that’s the  project’s Code of  Conduct for
  y’all).
