## DiscordGo Ping Pong Example
This example demonstrates how to utilize DiscordGo to create a Ping Pong Bot.
This Bot will respond to "ping" with "Pong!" and "pong" with "Ping!".

### Build
This assumes you already have a working Go environment setup and that
DiscordGo is correctly installed on your system.
From within the 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.
```
./pingpong --help
Usage of ./pingpong:
-t string
Bot Token
```
The below example shows how to start the bot
```sh
./pingpong -t YOUR_BOT_TOKEN
Bot is now running. Press CTRL-C to exit.
```
