osu-lobby-bot

This bot is able to manage a lobby. It is mainly focussed around automatic host rotation and beatmap star difficulty restriction.

You can either run a single instance of the bot or have it be chat enabled. In chat enabled mode multiple people can send a private message with a keyword to the account the bot is running with and a process will be started asking for necessary values to create a new, managed lobby.
