About kennedy-steve/skylink-if

Skylink IF is a Discord bot that integrates the flight simulator Infinite Flight with Discord, allowing players to access and share flight information directly within Discord servers. The bot is built with TypeScript and uses the Discord.js library, providing a bridge between the Infinite Flight community and Discord's social platform.

The project implements slash commands that query Infinite Flight's live API to retrieve player data and flight information. Users can look up active flights, pilot statistics, and other game-related details without leaving Discord. The bot is actively maintained with a development roadmap shaped by community feedback through an integrated survey form.

The setup process involves registering the bot with Discord's Developer Portal, configuring credentials, and running command registration to sync the bot's slash commands with Discord's systems. The repository includes TypeScript development tooling with hot-reload capabilities via ts-node-dev for streamlined local development, making it accessible for contributors who want to extend the bot's functionality.
