What did I learn?

Building Cheese Bot was an excellent learning experience that covered several key areas:

1. Bot Development: Learned how to create and manage a Discord bot using the Discord.py library.
2. API Interaction: Gained experience with handling API calls and managing asynchronous requests.
3. User Interaction: Developed skills in creating interactive and user-friendly commands.
4. Environment Management: Implemented best practices for managing environment variables and dependencies.
5. Project Structuring: Learned how to structure a Python project for clarity and maintainability

How did I build it?

1. Setup:
   Started by setting up a new Python project and creating a virtual environment.
   Installed the required libraries, including Discord.py for bot development.
2. Bot Creation:
   Registered a new bot on the Discord Developer Portal and obtained a token.
   Used the Discord.py library to initialize the bot and set up basic event handling.
3. Command Development:
   Created various commands such as ?cheesebot, ?joke, and ?fact.
   Implemented logic for each command to provide jokes and facts from predefined lists.
   Added a Rock, Paper, Scissors game to demonstrate more interactive features. Created a lot of commands for discord
4. Testing and Deployment:
   Tested the bot locally to ensure all commands worked as expected.
   Invited the bot to a private Discord server for further testing.
5. Documentation:
   Created a comprehensive README file to document the project's purpose, features, and setup instructions.
   The project file named main.py is actually a copy file which doesnt include the bot token and other api keys so as to keep the sensitive info of myself private.
