heartless IRC Bot
Posted: January 16, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »I’m creating an IRC bot using Nodejs called heartless. Starting from scratch (a.k.a. Nodejs documentation & the IRC spec), I’m building up to a multifunctional bot. Today I made it so that the trigger character can be changed using a noconflict command. This is not a feature I’ve seen in any bot, and it wasn’t too difficult.
I also tried to do an auto-auth based on identified & seen in glist, but glist only works for oneself. I might still make it auto-auth on identified nick though…and add a command sequence for announcing groups. Probably ‘group nick1′ as nick2 and ‘group nick2′ as nick1. It’ll be a password-less system, but also slightly insecure to nick thieves if somebody lets their nick expire…
Also, I took my last data structures project and ported it into the bot. Right now it just does the ‘sammich’ command, but in the future it will do more.
