Discord Bot Exercise 4: RPG Profile Card

Build the ultimate bot command — a profile card generator! This combines everything you've learned into one project with multiple functions working together.

Your Task

Write four functions that build a player's RPG profile card for Discord.

Function 1: xp_bar(current_xp, max_xp)

• Takes current XP and max XP
• Returns a visual progress bar string
• Calculate how many filled blocks out of 10: filled = int((current_xp / max_xp) * 10)
• Use "█" for filled and "░" for empty
• Example: xp_bar(75, 100) → "███████░░░ 75/100"

Function 2: get_rank(level)

• Takes a player's level
• Returns a rank title string based on the level:
  • Level 1–10: "🌱 Beginner"
  • Level 11–25: "⚔️ Warrior"
  • Level 26–50: "🔮 Mage"
  • Level 51+: "👑 Legend"

Function 3: format_badges(badge_list)

• Takes a list of badge names
• If the list is empty, return "No badges yet"
• Otherwise, return the badges joined with • (bullet separator)
• Example: format_badges(["PvP", "Explorer"]) → "PvP • Explorer"

Function 4: create_profile(username, level, current_xp, max_xp, badges)

• Takes all the player info
• Calls the other three functions to assemble the full card
• Returns a formatted profile string

The profile should look like:

╔══════════════════════════╗
  👤 DragonSlayer99
  🔮 Mage — Level 30
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  XP: ███████░░░ 350/500
  🏅 PvP Champ • Explorer • Builder
╚══════════════════════════╝

Starter Code

def xp_bar(current_xp, max_xp):
    # Calculate filled blocks (out of 10)
    # Return the bar + "current/max"
    pass

def get_rank(level):
    # Return a rank based on level ranges
    pass

def format_badges(badge_list):
    # Return badges joined with " • " or "No badges yet"
    pass

def create_profile(username, level, current_xp, max_xp, badges):
    # Use the other 3 functions to build the profile
    pass

# Test individual functions:
print(xp_bar(75, 100))  # Output: ███████░░░ 75/100
print(xp_bar(30, 200))  # Output: █░░░░░░░░░ 30/200
print(get_rank(5))  # Output: 🌱 Beginner
print(get_rank(30))  # Output: 🔮 Mage
print(format_badges(["PvP Champ", "Explorer"]))  # Output: PvP Champ • Explorer
print(format_badges([]))  # Output: No badges yet
print("---")

# Test the full profile:
print(create_profile("DragonSlayer99", 30, 350, 500, ["PvP Champ", "Explorer", "Builder"]))
print()
print(create_profile("NewPlayer42", 3, 50, 100, []))

Expected Output

███████░░░ 75/100
█░░░░░░░░░ 30/200
🌱 Beginner
🔮 Mage
PvP Champ • Explorer
No badges yet

╔══════════════════════════╗
  👤 DragonSlayer99
  🔮 Mage — Level 30
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  XP: ███████░░░ 350/500
  🏅 PvP Champ • Explorer • Builder
╚══════════════════════════╝

╔══════════════════════════╗
  👤 NewPlayer42

Hints

filled = int((current_xp / max_xp) * 10)
empty = 10 - filled
bar = "█" * filled + "░" * empty
return f"{bar} {current_xp}/{max_xp}"

if level <= 10:
    return "🌱 Beginner"
elif level <= 25:
    return "⚔️ Warrior"
# ...

if len(badge_list) == 0:
    return "No badges yet"
return " • ".join(badge_list)

rank = get_rank(level)
bar = xp_bar(current_xp, max_xp)
badge_str = format_badges(badges)
# Now build the profile string with these values

def xp_bar(current_xp, max_xp):
    filled = int((current_xp / max_xp) * 10)
    empty = 10 - filled
    bar = "█" * filled + "░" * empty
    return f"{bar} {current_xp}/{max_xp}"

def get_rank(level):
    if level <= 10:
        return "🌱 Beginner"
    elif level <= 25:
        return "⚔️ Warrior"
    elif level <= 50:
        return "🔮 Mage"
    else:
        return "👑 Legend"

def format_badges(badge_list):
    if len(badge_list) == 0:
        return "No badges yet"
    return " • ".join(badge_list)

def create_profile(username, level, current_xp, max_xp, badges):
    rank = get_rank(level)
    bar = xp_bar(current_xp, max_xp)
    badge_str = format_badges(badges)

    profile = "╔══════════════════════════╗\n"
    profile += f"  👤 {username}\n"
    profile += f"  {rank} — Level {level}\n"
    profile += "  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n"
    profile += f"  XP: {bar}\n"
    profile += f"  🏅 {badge_str}\n"
    profile += "╚══════════════════════════╝"
    return profile

Topics Practiced

• Function composition — create_profile calls three other functions
• Conditionals — if/elif/else for rank tiers
• Lists — badge list, checking empty, .join()
• Math — calculating proportions for the XP bar
• String multiplication — "█" * filled to build the progress bar
• String building — assembling a complex multi-line output
• Return values — every function returns a piece the main function uses
