Welcome! This project is an open-source Kotlin-based Discord bot that uses the JDA and Josh Grosh's JDA Utilities.

This project is a collaboration between myself and a few of my friends. It is a proof of concept and learning tool for those who wish to learn modern development practices and tools. It was inspired by one of our friends who used to be in our Discord server. The functionality contained within is supposed to emulate his mannerism as closely as possible.

This application can be run either from the latest published release, built from source, or deployed using docker. The application depends on four environmental variables being set.

To build from source and run locally, set the environment variables and run the bootRun task using the gradle wrapper script:

  set DISCORD_TOKEN=your-bot-token-here
  set DISCORD_OWNER=your-discord-id-here
  set DISCORD_GAME=My Game
  set DISCORD_PREFIX=!kyle 
  .\gradlew.bat bootRun

  export DISCORD_TOKEN=your-bot-token-here
  export DISCORD_OWNER=your-discord-id-here
  export DISCORD_GAME=My Game
  export DISCORD_PREFIX='!kyle '
  ./gradlew bootRun

As it stands, this bot is simply a testbed and learning platform for myself and my friends to get acquainted with modern development tools and APIs. Eventually, I plan on taking the things that were most valuable in this project and moving on to develop a more serious, useful bot for a wider audience.

For now, it is purely for recreation. More updates will be posted as more functionality of the bot becomes available.
