Necro Score Bot

Bot that posts tweets on leaderboard updates in crypt of the necrodancer.
Is currently running at twitter.com/necro_score_bot with >200 followers

Functionality

• Discord support finished, but not in use.
• add a link to your twitter in your steam profile to get tagged in tweets, like so
• • this will also make the bot post your score updates that do not hit the treshold for significance, but only as a "reply" to you.
• uses crypt.toofz.com by @Leonard_Thieu as backend now, instead of Steams old API - which was quite unreliable
• adheres to official python coding standards with minimal exceptions
• default configuration is in file necro_score_bot.conf but is superseded by any configuration in $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/necro_score_bot.conf
• configuration file can be overridden with use of command-line flags
• the Discord branch has thread support, but that is currently not merged into main

Deprecated functionality

• Supports NecroLab power rankings by @Tommy Bolger, but the website is WIP and unreliable so functionality is disabled.
• Had support for SpeedRunsLive race rankings, but that is not in use so no longer maintaned and was never activated.

Planned functionality

• Synchrony
