## DiscordGo Direct Message Ping Pong Example This example demonstrates how to utilize DiscordGo to create a Ping Pong Bot that sends the response through Direct Message. This Bot will respond to "ping" in any server it's in with "Pong!" in the sender's DM. **Join [Discord Gophers](https://discord.gg/0f1SbxBZjYoCtNPP) Discord chat channel for support.** ### Build This assumes you already have a working Go environment setup and that DiscordGo is correctly installed on your system. From within the dm_pingpong example folder, run the below command to compile the example. ```sh go build ``` ### Usage This example uses bot tokens for authentication only. While user/password is supported by DiscordGo, it is not recommended for bots. ``` ./dm_pingpong --help Usage of ./dm_pingpong: -t string Bot Token ``` The below example shows how to start the bot ```sh ./dm_pingpong -t YOUR_BOT_TOKEN Bot is now running. Press CTRL-C to exit. ```
