So you want to make a Discord bot, huh? Well, you've come to the right place. Even if you haven't touched a line of code before, that doesn't mean you can't learn how to code. Let's start off from a broad perspective: all Discord bots are made out of computer code, primarily using two things: a coding language, and a Discord API library associated with that language.
A coding language is nothing more than a set of instructions that you can give to a computer to have it do something. Every time you click your mouse or press a key, you are sending information to the computer's inner workings that then have it click the mouse, for example. There are a bunch of different languages that you can code Discord bots in, from Python to Ruby to Java to Javascript. For this tutorial, we will be using Javascript (no relation to Java, ironically), which is primarily a web-based scripting language. In a nutshell, Javascript helps make web pages do interesting things like make images chan
