[Bun](https://bun.com) is a fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime. + +## User Guide + +Get access to the forum channel for a CTF competition by clicking the button sent by the bot. +Alternatively, ask an administrator to add you manually. Note that once you have joined the forum, +you can not leave it. + +For each challenge you ponder upon in the competition, create a forum post with the challenge's +name as title. You are also encouraged can also add tag(s) for the categor(y/ies) of the challenge. +When you create the post, the bot will automatically add the `unsolved` tag. When a challenge is +solved, you can either remove the `unsolved` tag manually, or run the `/solve` command in the forum +post. + +This way, all challenges that have not yet been solved can be filtered for in the forum. (Which is +way more interesting than filtering for the solved challenges). + +## Administrator Guide + +For each CTF competition, use the `/new` command. This will create a forum channel for the +competition as well as a pinned post called "general" with a message you specify. It will also post +a message containing a button in the channel the command is run in. This button can be clicked by +anyone who can see it to join the CTF forum. + +If you need to re-create the button, use the `/create-button-message` from within a CTF forum, +specifying which channel it should be posted to. To do this you need the "Manage Permissions" +permissions on the forum channel and permission to send messages yourself in the targeted channel. + +To manually add or remove players, you can use the `/add` and `/remove` commands respectively from +within a CTF forum. To do this, you need the "Manage Permissions" permission on the forum channel. + +When the CTF competition is over, you should run the `/archive` command. This will move the CTF +forum to the first category called `Archive` or `archive` (if any), revoke everyone's write access, +and make it visible to everyone (by removing the explicit denial that was set during creation). + +Note that this bot is completely stateless! That means that you do not have to fear de-syncing the +bot's view of the world. The way it determines if a forum is a CTF forum is that it checks if it has +a pinned post named general posted by the bot. You can rename, move around and delete CTF forums and +recreate the button message however much you like. |
