IRC bot

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/IRC bot

Anyone found a source for an IRC bot? Ported to BMAX???

Cheers.

I made a very simple Console mode IRC client, making a bot out of it shouldnt be to much trouble...
You want it?

Explains how IRC works. It's not that hard.
I don't have any BMax code, but I used the rfc a couple of years ago to write a simple bot in the Python language.

It's just text sent and received through a TCP socket.

sure grable :P
Thanks deps

Be careful when experimenting with this stuff, as you can be automatically flagged as a spambot if you accidentally fire too many packets at an IRC server (I know because I did it myself years ago), and you could ultimately get banned from the entire network. So be sure you read up on the protocol well before you put fingers to keyboard.

Very appreciated grable! Many thanks
