🦊 A general-use fox-themed Discord bot, written in Java with JDA (Java Discord API) and C++ (via java.lang.foreign).

To use the bot, ensure that Java is installed.

Before starting the bot, you must create a file config.properties in app/src/main/resources, containing a bot token and a shutdown password. In that directory, there is a file called INSTRUCTIONS.txt.

To start the bot, use ./gradlew run.

To shut off the bot, run the shutdown bot command with your shutdown password. (Ctrl + C works too, but the former is preferred.)

Upcoming features:

• Include support for other streaming services
• Implement imageboard image grabbing utilities
• Implement simple games with the bot (using C++)
