Robot Ninja Monkey Pirate

A minimalistic extensible IRC bot.

Installation

This program requires the Isaac bot framework. To install it, e.g. "gem install isaac".

Create the directory $HOME/.config/ronimopi and copy the provided example config.yml file there. You will find it in the examples directory. Customize the file to your liking.

There are also some plugins for handling !-commands in the examples/commands.d directory. Create a commands.d directory under the config directory you created above, and copy the plugins you would like to use to that directory.

After you have done these things, just run it.

Writing more command handlers is easy-peasy: look at the examples. Whatever you do in the plugins gets evaluated in the context of Isaac's helpers, so take a look at Isaac's documentation too.

Usage

When started, the bot will connect to the server you configured, read all available plugins and join the channels you configured. Then it will sit there.

Whenever a public message starts with an exclamation mark ("!"), the bot will react by calling the associated handler helper: e.g. for a public message "!foo bar baz", the bot will see if it has a helper called "handle_foo" defined, and if it does, it will call that and pass the channel name, the nick of the person who gave the command and "bar baz" as arguments.

In short, if you want it to do anything, code.
