needs authentication. this adds a sqlite database, to track a couple
settings. one, since_id, tracks the last successful time this poll
happened, so it's pretty important you don't muck around with it.
default value is 0, so the first time this poll occurs, it may be a
bit spammy.
note that this isn't guaranteed, if the chain is such that the
current tuple has nowhere to go but to the end of the line, then
it will follow it --- it doesn't try to go back and rebuilt a different
chain or anything.
yeah, we have MegaHAL, but i can't find a good implementation in
python that actually works and is stable, so we'll implement a
simple thing ourselves. works pretty much like MegaHAL does, but
without the string corruption.
original code provided by ape, care of mike bloy
apparently at 3 AM i forgot to implement important features, because
this is pretty critical to the game actually being playable. let
the assignee, if the game is still open, get the text of the line
they are to reply to.
also display it, rather than the add line command, where appropriate.
i'd originally intended to use strings, too, but never decided on
if there should be a game name, or the commands should search
something, or what, so i'll just quit waffling and remove it. numbers
only for now.
this module implements a game where players write a line in a story,
probably a nonsensical one, a couple lines at a time. once the player
who started the story has written something, the last line is
passed along to someone else in the game, who continues the story ---
or disregards the small bit of context entirely and writes their own
thing.
eventually you get a story like this:
line 1 by user 1
line 2 by user 1
line 3 by user 2 (who only read line 2)
line 4 by user 2
line 5 by user 3 (who only read line 4)
...
conceptually, that's the idea of the game. the code itself is still
a bit rough around the edges, but i can bang through a game by
myself. it needs some robustification, but it's fairly well
documented and the module does try to provide some clues to IRC while
you're playing.
config option explanations, more such options, etc. to come. critically
important is a way to get completed stories out of the bot, of course.
more to come, i'll shut up now and commit.
with alias calling do() internally, there is no need for all this
replypath nonsense, and if there's ever a module that needs to reply
to stuff on its own outside of do(), it'd have to be implementing
all of this anyway, so it was pretty irrelevant.
this makes DrBotIRC alias/recursion stuff a bit cleaner.
this is possible because now the alias stuff in DrBotIRC calls
each module's do() on a pubmsg/privmsg.
this also gets rid of all the meta options (so remove them from
your config file!), and IrcAdmin now only needs to connect
to welcome.
okay, it's time. we got around for a while with all sorts of silly
config options and exceptions and common strings triggering bot
commands. but now it's time to man up and expect modules to be
more strict and less loosey-goosey.
convert the popular modules (i.e. the ones that still work) to
trigger on !pi rather than pi, etc. usually, this is achieved via
regex searches, although there are some weird bugs (ones i'm hoping
are caused by other recursion/alias bugs and not this commit).
more code around this will be gutted soon, but this, at least,
means you can't say 'tweet that shit, yo' and accidentally trigger
the bot.
this is a big change. DrBotIrc is now in charge of module loading
and unloading, aliases, and recursion. the Alias module is no more,
and a bunch of functionality was moved out of IrcAdmin, including
also config file saving, the sigint handler, and quitting the bot.
additionally, a lot of stuff got caught in the wake. dr.botzo.py
is simpler now, and lets DrBotIRC do the dynamic loading stuff.
Module.__init__ changed, modules no longer get modlist and instead
get a reference to the DrBotIRC object. IrcAdmin still has the same
exposed methods, but now calls out to DrBotIRC to achieve some of
them.
naturally, a recursion/alias rewrite was included with this change.
it is clearer now (i think), but probably brittle somewhere.
additionally, currently any module that has registered a pubmsg
handler can potentially fire more than once on one input (without
recursion). this may be the next thing to fix. do() may need to
be split, or maybe it's time to stop having modules deal with
pubmsg/privmsg entirely. need to decide.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
unicode-escape appears to do bad things to hiragana and probably
all unicode characters that are not unicode escaped. ultimately
it seems that google's responses are not consistent.
back to the drawing board.
This reverts commit 40888869b0.
