Introduction
Before we dive into the technical details of displaying game status on Discord mobile, let’s first understand what a game status is. A game status is a way for players to see if you are currently playing a game or not. It can be used to indicate your availability, to show which game you are playing, and to communicate with other players in real-time.
There are several ways to display your game status on Discord mobile, but the most common method is by using the Discord API. The API allows developers to interact with Discord servers and channels, as well as to retrieve information about users and their activities. In this article, we will use the Discord API to create a bot that can update your game status automatically whenever you start or stop playing a game.
Prerequisites
Before you start building your bot, there are a few things you need to know. First, you need to have a Discord account with the necessary permissions to access the API. You can create a new account on the Discord Developer Portal (https://discord.com/developers). Once you have created an account, you need to create a new project and enable the “Bot” and “Read Messages/Write Messages” permissions for that project.
Next, you will need to install Node.js on your computer. Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that allows you to run JavaScript code outside of a web browser. You can download Node.js from the official website (https://nodejs.org).
Finally, you will need to create a new bot on the Discord Developer Portal and obtain its token. The token is a unique identifier that allows your bot to access the API on your behalf. You can create a new bot by navigating to the “OAuth2” section of your project and generating a new client ID and secret. Once you have obtained your token, you can use it to authenticate with the Discord API in your code.
Building the Bot
Now that we have all the necessary prerequisites, let’s start building our bot. The first step is to install the Discord.js library, which is a official Node.js library for interacting with the Discord API.
<b>npm install discord.js</b>Once you have installed the library, you can create a new file called `index.js` and start writing your code.
