Summer

Summer is an IRC Bot "framework" "inspired" by http://github.com/RISCFuture/autumn. Its goal is to be tiny.

Installation

The project is currently in "preview" state 'cause that's all the rage nowadays. No there's no invites, BUT everybody gets access to it. Sorry to inform you that you'll have to clone it and then run rake install if you want to use it.

Usage

To use summer, create a file like this:

require 'rubygems'
require 'summer'

class Bot < Summer::Connection

end

Bot.new("localhost")

Running it will make your bot attempt to connect to the server on localhost. For those of you who do not have an IRC server running locally, I would suggest trying irc.freenode.net instead.

Configuration

In the same directory create a directory called config and in that put summer.yml which can have the following keys:

• nick: The nickname of the bot.
• channel: A channel to join on startup.
• channels: Channels to join on startup.
• auto_rejoin: Set this to true if you want the bot to re-join any channel it's kicked from.

Handling raw messages

If you wish to handle raw messages that come into your bot you can define a handle_xxx method for that where xxx is the three-digit representation of the raw you wish to handle.
