1# fortunebot.tcl --
2#
3# Demo bot using the irc TCL client library. This is a VERY simple bot that
4# demonstrates some simple uses of the irc TCL library.
5#
6# The bot sits on any number of channels and networks. It periodically grabs
7# a fortune from a web site and sends the fortune with appropriate delays
8# between each line to all channels on all networks it is on.
9
10# Example use in Tcl:
11#
12# % source fortunebot.tcl
13# % set token [irc::connect ....]
14# % fortune::join $token #mychannel
15# % fortune::start 120
16#
17# What this does:
18# * Loads the bot, which in turn will load the IRC library and HTTP.
19# * Connect to IRC
20# * Send the bot to join #mychannel
21# * Start the bot, with 120 seconds delay. Now it'll do its actions every
22#   120 seconds.
23#
24# To stop the bot:
25#
26# % fortune::stop
27#
28# Make him leave a channel:
29#
30# % fortune::leave $token #mychannel
