## Name and Icon
"GimelBot" is a reference to the fact that it's written in *Game Maker Language* (GML), as well as the Phoenician letter ["gimel"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimel) which preceded the Greek "gamma". The icon is in turn based on the [throwing stick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throw_stick_(hieroglyph)) hieroglyph which preceded "gimel".
## Building
Requirements:
- [Gmk-Splitter](https://github.com/Medo42/Gmk-Splitter) by Medo42
- [Faucet Networking Extension](https://github.com/Medo42/Faucet-Networking-Extension) by Medo42
- Game Maker 8
The `src` folder must be reassembled into a `.gmk` file using gmk-splitter then exported with GM8.
