Description

Creates a new Bot instance, initializes the connection to the server & prepares the game loop.

You only need to call NewBot followed by Run once in your code to start up the Core library, and this setup is already present in your code when you clone the repository. No need for you to do anything. 💆‍♀️🧘‍♀️😎
