DiscordBot

About The Project

This is a simple Discord Bot built by 2 Students of the University of Bonn. The Bot can do many things: starting from simple greetings and telling jokes, to setting timers, making polls and even joining you on a voice channel.

Built With

The Main Libraries and APIs we used for this Application are:

• JDA
• LavaPlayer
• Reflections
• Dad jokes

Getting Started

Here we will explain how to get this Bot up and running.

Prerequisites

• Java 8 or later

  Make sure to have Java 8 or later installed. However, the current version is recommended.

• IDE

  You will need an IDE to be able to start your bot. We would recommend IntelliJ IDEA.

• Discord Account

  Logically, you will also need a discord account in order to run your bot

• API key

  The used API needs a key to be functional. You can subscribe for free: this allows 50 requests per day.

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/krristi427/DiscordBot.git your_directory

2. Create a new Application here. Copy the token from there

3. Open resources/config.properties and replace the token there with one of your own.

4. Replace the contents of the variable jokeApiKey with the key provided from the api.

5. Run the Application

Bear in mind that the prefix is %. You can change that in the same file, just watch out that the new prefix doesn't match the prefix of another bot on your server.
