Introduction: Hacks #64-67
IRC bots are ideal for making
announcements. They can happily sit there and wait for an event to
happen without getting bored. Furthermore, when a bot makes an
announcement, it will never get involved in the subsequent debate
that ensues.The first hack in this chapter shows you how to make a simple bot
that welcomes users to your channel. The hacks steadily become more
complex, showing you how to announce the appearance of new newsgroup
posts and news items found in RSS feeds. The final hack shows you how
to use MatchEd to monitor the progress of
multiplayer first-person action games from the comfort of IRC.Beyond the hacks in this chapter, we hope that your imagination can
lead you to create your own unique hacks, such as a bot that notifies
you when you're low on hard disk space or when
it's time to go and watch your favorite TV program.
