ASCII Art Discord Bot using Discord.js

😎 This is a simple Discord bot, coded in JavaScript and the Discord.js library. This bot extends the native Discord functionality of commands such as /tableflip or /shrug with 25+ new emoticons. The bot uses the fairly new Discord feature of Slash Commands.

The ASCII Bot is hosted 24/7 by the author, and is available for anyone to use freely. You can invite the bot to your server(s) using this link.

Emoticons

The bot currently contains 25 commands and emoticons, extending Discord's native 3 (/tableflip, /unflip, and /shrug). Here's a full list of the current emoticons the ASCII Bot contains.

As each Discord bot can have up to 100 Slash Commands, this list probably will get expanded in the future. As a matter of fact, you can help expand this list by suggesting new emoticons using this form!

While all the emoticons are fairly simple, and have probably been created many times by many independent authors, the resources/sources.txt file contains the bot's author's sources for all of them.

Set up & use

If you wish to run the bot yourself, please create a bot application in the Discord Developer Portal (for more instructions, see Tutorial), and then follow these steps:

1. Create a resources/config.json file and include your bot token with the key "token".
2. (optional) Edit the resources/art.json file to change the bot's emoticon database.
3. Change the information in the package.json file to reflect your bot's data.
4. Make sure your bot has the applications.commands scope enabled to be able to use Slash Commands.
5. Run the bot via NodeJS by running the node bot.js command locally, or set up online hosting.

The README.md, LICENSE, .gitignore, and .github files/folders do not have to be included in the bot's folder. All other files do.

If you chose to run the bot yourself, please consider sponsoring the project here on GitHub with a few dollars.
