--- Probotic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A IRC Bot that is able to recieve several commands and on a weekly
|
||
|
|
(or daily, biweekly, monthly) basis will (privately?) declare an
|
||
|
|
assignment for users to do.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--- Speculations
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Internally this suggests that it must handle entries of these projects
|
||
|
|
that could be preconceived or composed exactly for a given date (what
|
||
|
|
we're doing.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This may be done via a simplistic append-only database or a SQL-based
|
||
|
|
database.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--- Requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The bot should support printing at a regular interval or at a given date.
|
||
|
|
The bot should respect some commands, such as POST, for if someone wishes
|
||
|
|
to post a project challenge.
|
||
|
|
The bot should respect an administrator, such that he could POST, and
|
||
|
|
REMOVE entered items.
|
||
|
|
Command SEARCH, SINCE and LIST, for regexp searching, entries since a
|
||
|
|
date (presumably a <from> <to> relationship), and a list all.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The tooling behind the bot should be accessible to do the same sort of
|
||
|
|
interfacing to recieve a given task at the running of a command (to avoid
|
||
|
|
having to deal with unix mail, this could be done through a daily check
|
||
|
|
in a crontab file.)

Formatting is BSD spc2, always bracketed (unless the block is upon another
|
||
|
|
keyword), overwrap functions and combinators.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--- Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
int /* what I meant by overwrap functions */
|
||
|
|
main(int argc,
|
||
|
|
argv * argv)
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
int * somevar = 0 + 1;
|
||
|
|
if (1 || /* what I meant by overwrap combinators */
|
||
|
|
*somevar)
|
||
|
|
{ return 0; }
|
||
|
|
else /* switch, if, do/while/for, would not be nested within */
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
puts("fruakk");
|
||
|
|
return 1;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
