Introduction

Welcome to the documentation for the Yu-Gi-Oh! War League Deck Submission Bot.

This bot is a powerful tool designed to streamline the process of managing deck submissions for team-based war league events within Yu-Gi-Oh! communities on Discord. Built with Python and the discord.py library, it provides a robust platform for participants to submit and manage their decklists, and for administrators to oversee the league.

Key Features

• Effortless Deck Submission: Users can easily submit and update their decklists by providing a .ydk file.
• Robust YDK Validation: The bot includes basic validation to ensure submitted .ydk files are valid DuelingBook decks, preventing errors and ensuring data integrity.
• Administrator Controls: Dedicated commands allow league administrators to configure seasons and weeks, view and manage submissions, and maintain control over the league’s data.
• Local Data Storage: All submission data, including team assignments and decklist information, is persistently stored in a local sqlite3 database by default.
• Automated Deck Image Generation: The bot automatically generates visual representations of submitted decks using the PIL library, saving them locally for easy review.
• Multi-Season and Multi-Week Support: The bot is designed to handle multiple war league seasons and any number of individual weeks within those seasons, offering flexibility for ongoing events.

Technologies Used

• Python: The core programming language.
• discord.py: A modern, easy-to-use, feature-rich, and async-ready API wrapper for Discord.
• SQLite3: The default database for storing bot data.
• PIL (Pillow): Used for generating deck images.
• Docker: For containerization and simplified deployment.

This bot aims to simplify the organizational overhead of running Yu-Gi-Oh! war leagues, allowing communities to focus on the matches themselves. The built-in validation ensures that the submitted data is reliable and in the correct format.
