botany over IRC
~eeeeeta wrote a script that lets you control your botany plant over IRC!
disclaimer
You may wish to back up your botany data before using this script. ~eeeeeta doesn't think it does anything bad, but they don't know how python works, so it's probably better to be safe. To do so, run:
$ cp -rv ~/.botany ~/.botany.bak
You can then move the ~/.botany.bak
folder back to its original place if
things go south.
usage instructions
To use the script, run:
$ ~eeeeeta/botanyirc.sh localhost OWNER BOTNICK
Replace OWNER
with your IRC nickname, and BOTNICK
with the IRC nickname
you want the bot to use. If all goes well, you will then receive some
/NOTICE
s on IRC from the bot, showing you your plant's status in much the
same way as regular botany. Here's an example of what the bot's output looks
like:
12:06 -- etabotany: --- botany --- 12:06 -- etabotany: commands: water, look, garden, visit, instructions, exit 12:06 -- etabotany: plant: young jade plant 12:06 -- etabotany: score: 545750 12:06 -- etabotany: water ())))))))))) 99% 12:06 -- etabotany: . , 12:06 -- etabotany: o%O %,o 12:06 -- etabotany: \%o' 12:06 -- etabotany: . , _ . ., l, _ ., _ . 12:06 -- etabotany: ^ ' ` '
To control the plant, simply reply with one of the commands
that the bot
offers you. Please note that the garden
and visit
commands are yet to be
implemented.
Feel free to yell at ~eeeeeta over IRC/alpine/whatever if you have questions!
