kobot exchanges information between Discord and Max/MSP. its goal is to provide an interactive connection between live performers and their audience. kobot asks yes or no questions on which can be voted, the outcomes influence the performance and its live performers.
if you follow this guide you'll have one in 5 minutes. pick the permissions you need and invite your newborn bot to your server (kobot needs at least Send/Manage Messages, Read Message History and Add Reactions permissions).
kobot.js is configured to read some values from a config.json file. here's an example:
{
"prefix": "whatever you want to use",
"token": "put token here",
"testchannel": "channel id"
}
also make sure to install the discord.js node module.
if you configured everything correctly the bot should start after pressing the (script start) message in the maxpatch.
