Title: [Contest] MineBot
Post by: merthsoft on August 09, 2012, 09:58:51 am
So, this contest has inspired me to make a bot I've been meaning to make for quite some time: MineBot! It plays minesweeper. It's up right now (though keep in mind as I work on it it will go down). You can play through DCC:
/dcc chat MineBot
The gameplay should be pretty straight forward, you just tell it which row and column you want to "click" on, and it goes from there. I'm thinking of adding other games as well. I'm also going to make it so it can hopefully do private messaging as well.

Also: It's only on EFnet right now.

Lol, I thought it was a bot to play Minecraft :P
I am just wondering, are you going to display the board (with ascii characters for example) after every "click" ?
If no, it would be really hard to play.
If yes, I hope your bot will have its own channel because it will need space O.O
Anyway, good luck with this :)

It does display the board each time, otherwise it would be near impossible. As for needing its own channel, it communicates through DCC right now, so it doesn't need to be in a channel at all.
