1 = rbot - The Ruby IRC bot
3 rbot is a ruby IRC bot. Think of him as a ruby bot framework with a highly
4 modular design based around plugins.
8 * Runtime configuration via irc chat
9 * User authentication and access levels for using different bot features
10 * Built in infobot-style keywords.
11 * Support for underlying fact database (infobot fact files), which can
12 be overridden or supplemented by runtime keyword controls
13 * Multi-language support - comes with english, dutch, german, french, italian
14 japanese, chinese, russian and finnish definitions so far - more translations welcome
15 * Powerful plugin architecture, comes with plugins for:
18 - Translator with multitude of services, it's easy as <code>!translate Ein Automobil</code>
23 * <code>rbot: seen tango? <rbot> tango_ was last seen 20 minutes and 7 seconds ago, joining #rbot</code>
25 * Example: <code>remind me about pizza in the oven in 15 minutes</code>
26 - Checking the weather
29 - Lots of games, including uno, hangman, azgame and roshambo
31 - Per-channel quote storage, searching and retrieval
32 - Check the spelling of a word
35 - Conversation stats — also, rbot log format is supported by {pisg}[http://pisg.sourceforge.net/]
38 Thanks are owed to the infobot developers - several of rbot's features are
39 inspired by infobot and so are some of the default plugins. Thanks are also
40 owed to RADKade1, as rbot's quote plugin is a direct reimplementation of his
41 "quotesaq" - simply because it's a great quote interface.
43 Mainly, rbot's fun to play with, although the plugin architecture can be used
44 to write very useful modules
