Nimble

A Discord bot that plays Nim!

Setup

To run Nimble you will need to install Node.js.

If you wish to use the pre-hosted version of this bot, you can invite it to your server using this link.

Otherwise, if you wish to host it yourself you can follow the instructions below:

Bot Setup

You will need to set up a Discord Application, found here.

Once you create a new application, go to the Bot tab and create a new bot.

Inside the directory you cloned this repository to, run these commands:

Install packages:

npm install

Start bot:

npm start

Configuring the bot is easy, just edit the config.json found in the root of the project:

Configuration (inside config.json):

token: this is the bot token, which can be found under the Bot tab in the Discord Application. (DO NOT SHARE THIS WITH ANYONE!)
prefix: can be any character(s) you want; defines the start of a command. (e.g. "~help" or "!help")
clientId: this is the Discord Application's ID, which can be found under the General Information tab in the Discord Application.

Inviting the Bot

NOTE: You need Administrator permissions in the server you want to add this bot to!

To invite the bot to your server, go to the OAuth2 tab and click the "bot" and "applications.commands" checkboxes

In the OAuth2 tab, make sure to scroll down to the "Bot Permissions" section and select these permissions:

View Channels
Send Messages
Public Threads
Private Threads
Send Messages in Threads
Manage Messages
Manage Threads
Embed Links
Read Message History
Use Slash Commands

After selecting the permissions, copy the link at the bottom of the OAuth2 section, and open it. This will bring up a Discord modal telling you which server to put the bot in, and to accept the required permissions.

After this, the bot should be in your server!
