Discord Bot

This is an implementation of a Discord bot using Go that I'm doing as a learning exercise and a hobby.

Current capabilities

Perform the handshake and connect to Discord Event Gateway
Maintain connection sending heartbeats
- For now it is unable to reconnect if something fails

First step is to create a bot account and get a token to be able to authenticate the bot. Follow the discord.py tutorial
Setup the .env file by using cp .env.example .env and inserting your discord token
Setup the bot intents in config/bot_intents_config.json. Watch out as some of these require extra privileges. Refer to the documentation: Gateway Intents
Then run, from the root of the project, go mod tidy and go run ./cmd/main.go
