Constantine

Constantine is an open-source multifunctional Discord Bot written in Python.

• Music Player (Planned)
• ToDo List and Reminders (Planned)
• Voting (Planned)

Usage

• !help [command] - Everyone knows what this does.
• !ping - Responds with "Pong!"
• !say - Responds with user-specified text
• !translate <detect||available> [text]- Available returns all available languages. Detect tries to detect what language a user-specified text is written in. is the language the user would like to translate into. Example command: "!translate de-en Hallo, wie geht es dir?" will return "Hello, how are you?". If no input language is specified it tries to detect the language. From my experience one word translations work best. This command uses the free Yandex Translator API
• !news <[source (default: google-news)]|info|available> [source] - Available returns all available news sources. info [source] returns details about the specified source. !news [source] will return the top ten articles, a short description and a link on the specified news site. If no news site is specified, Google News will be used because it puts together news from different sites.
