It's been a long time since the last Discord bot dedicated to competitive programming was released, so I guess it's time for me to make one :D

I was greatly inspired by TLE bot (see the announcement blog) and decided to recreate it under the name NeoTLE to fully unlock its potential and reach a wider audience.

This bot is online 24/7 and can be invited to any server. To invite the bot, you need to be the owner of your server. Then, go to this link (or you can search its name in App Directory) and click Add to Server. You can also use the bot directly on our Community Server.

NOTE: this is a remastered version that pays respect to the original TLE bot made by cheran-senthil.

Getting Started

First, we will guide you through the handle identification process. Most features need to know your handle so this is apparently necessary. So, you need to use the /handle identify command and enter your Codeforces handle (nickname). The bot will then respond to you as shown in the image below:

Click the Open the problem ◳ button to open the problem link on the website. Then, submit any Compillation Error code and wait a while until the verification is successful, your handle will be linked to the bot.

Main Features

Although the bot has only been around for a short time, it already has a lot of interesting features for you to try. I will show you some of my favorites!

All bot commands are slash commands and have the prefix /. Each command belongs to a command group. To see a list of commands in a command group, use the /help command and click on the corresponding plugin (as image shown below)

Okay now you're all done! Let's go!

Recommend problems (by difficulty and tag)
Plot various types of graphs
Duel code challenge
Contest reminder
Contest ranklist (with delta predictor)
Gitgud by topic
Listing upcoming/finished contests

Final Thoughts

If you have read this far, don't hesitate to join our server to experience the bot, get the latest news and chat with everyone at https://discord.gg/pRA2tEMK9X. We always welcome and listen to your feedback! We hope to have a great time together!

Edit 1: at some point, some commands do not always work perfectly because it requires a connection to Codeforces API. If Codeforces is down, the bot is too! In such case please be patient and try using the command later!
