How Legends of Mechatron Started
We are all mechatronics students from the same university in Germany. During covid, lectures were held online and each of us was stuck at home. Discord fortunately helped us to stay connected.
What once started as a Discord bot with a hangman implementation to keep us entertained during long video lecture sessions spread to a much deeper network during the last few years. The old Discord bot still exists, but now supports, besides hangman: Tic Tac Toe, Tic Tac Toe Big, Connect Four, Werewolf and Wordle. And the additional website made it possible to opt out of turn-based games for Discord, so I've implemented what we call take6: an online animated multiplayer card game. We also like to keep track of our scores in each game and even crown a 'Game Master' at the end of each month who was able to score the most points during a season. Besides games, the LoM system, as we call it for short, also keeps track of upcoming birthdays, set meetings or university events.
Who Can Use the LoM App?
As this is the biggest coding project I have ever implemented, I surely wanted to add it to my personal online portfolio. If you are now interested in actually joining our Discord and using the app or website, I unfortunately have to let you down. The LoM network was and most probably will always be a closed network for our personal student group.
Privacy Policy of the LoM App
If you are one of my fellow students, though, and want to know how your personal data of the LoM app is processed, you can check out the corresponding Privacy Policy for more information.
