puzzcord, a Discord bot for Mystery Hunt

• bot.py is a Discord bot which interfaces with Puzzleboss and provides solving tools to hunters
• client.py runs a local server you can ncat to and ask it for specific channel creation/announcement/management commands

Usage

cp config.json-template config.json
# set up your configuration to the DB, asyncio_server ports, etc.
nano config.json

Then, run ./bot.py to start the bot. Talk to client.py using ./puzzcord. You may need to adjust the port information in ./puzzcord based on your particular config.json.
