Setting up MatchMaker for schedule generation

Nicholas Bottone edited this page May 12, 2023 · 1 revision

MatchMaker by Idle Loop is the official schedule generation tool that is used by FRC and FTC tournaments. We also use it in this project to power the /generate_schedule command. However, since MatchMaker is not permissively licensed, we cannot distribute the MatchMaker binaries with this repository. This means you are responsible for downloading MatchMaker on your own in order for it to work with your bot.

  1. Download the latest version of MatchMaker from their downloads page.

  2. Unzip the downloaded archive and move the executable for your operating system (EXE for Windows, etc.) to the root of the bot repository. Ensure the file is named "MatchMaker" (or "MatchMaker.exe", etc.)

That's it! The bot should be able to call on the executable when you use the command from within Discord.
