IRC Bots
General Guidelines
-
Try not to spam the main channels; your bot can sit in them, but please keep as much bot chatter to #bots as possible.
-
Test your bot; either make your own channel, or use #bot_test, to make sure your bot is behaving well before inflicting it onto your fellow tilders.
-
Your bot should respond to !rollcall with a report of what it does.
-
Your bot should never respond to !rollcall with !rollcall.
How-To make your own
More here later.
One easy way to learn more is simply to snoop through other people's bot scripts, and also ask questions in IRC.

The "rollcall" bot
Enter the command !rollcall
in a chat room, it will ping all bots
that are listening and have them respond with a brief help message.
This command spams the chat with quite a few bot messages, so please don't run this command very often, especially while the chat room you are in is currently very busy.
