Deploying

Heroku

Instructions

Use this button to begin deployment:

Assuming everything was entered correctly your bot should be instantly working - if it’s not you should try running php bin/console post-install inside the app.

You will also want to add Heroku Scheduler addon and set up a hourly task to run the following command to clean up expired games from the database:
- php bin/console cron

If this command times out too fast try using something like this instead: php -d max_execution_time=2700 bin/console cron

Note on translations

Translations support is implemented but it is not used mainly because translated text would be displayed to both players - this could be problematic in “gaming” groups - people setting language that other player can’t understand!
