PilePoxyl

The ultimate MCBE creator toolkit from PixelPoly, condensed into a Discord application.

Features

• Near-perfect feature parity with the reference website
• Useful parameter descriptions from /help
• Semi-cross-platform with CMake
• Super-easy setup interface
• Minimal dependencies

Some hurdles yet to be overcome

• Detect config/config.json instead of a separate FIRSTRUN file to determine first run
• UTF-16 handling for filenames on Windows, required by generate_tests
• Instead of hard-coding the URLs, move them to a separate config file
• Limit code-copying and redundancy at restapi::respond_interaction
• C++ functions and class methods should take in reference arguments

CMake targets

• generate_tests - Test program that generates/transforms data from source code + the resources folder
• runpp - The actual program to launch and host a Discord application

How to build

GNU/Linux

By far the easiest OS to work with. Install CURL, libwebsockets from your package manager, and you're ready to go!

• runpp builds and runs correctly on Gentoo using GCC. Other distributions have not been tested but they may work as well.
• generate_tests builds and runs correctly on Gentoo using GCC. Other distributions have not been tested but they may work as well.

Windows

A headache to work with and support when it comes to dependencies.

• runpp builds and runs correctly (with a bunch of warnings) on Windows 10 and Windows 11 using the MSVC toolkit.
• generate_tests requires an implementation of file_management.cpp that handles filenames in UTF-16, which doesn't exist yet.

BSD/Darwin (macOS)

Support for such system is nonexistent. Contributions are welcome.

External dependencies

• CURL (HTTP handling with an easy-to-use interface)
• libwebsockets (WebSocket handling with a reasonable but hard-to-use interface)

Self-configuring the program

The first run interface provided by runpp is the best way to bootstrap the bot, but occasionally one might want to edit the generated config file. The configuration is saved in config/config.json in JSON for ease of editing. Go to config/README.md for more information.
