TODO
This project is just the result of a bored holiday, I am by no means a professional Python or LUA developer so I apologise for the very scuffed code you have just stumbled upon, this was a huge learning experience and it goes without saying that this code comes with no warranty.
- This bot is very much in ALPHA - you will almost definitely run into bugs! If you decide to run this, please provide feedback and report bugs in Discord #bot-support❓ channel
- It is possible to run the bot with unthrottled speedup, most shiny hunting methods will work at unthrottled speeds but you'll be more prone to getting stuck
- Only tested and confirmed working on Windows
- Only 1 bot instance can run at a time (for now)
See the (Milestones page) for this repo.
