JZBot is an IRC bot. Visit http://github.com/javawizard/jzbot⁠ if you have questions.

To set up JZBot, make sure you have java. If you don't, install it by running "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk". I haven't tested JZBot with OpenJDK, so if you install that instead of sun-java6-jdk, your mileage may vary. I also haven't tested JZBot on Windows, but it should work without a problem. Then, run this command:

chmod +x jzbot

Then run this:

./jzbot

That command will print out info on how to set up the bot.

========== FOR THE TECHNICALLY INCLINED ==========

If you want to write your own functions (see "~help functions" for info on what functions are), all you need to do is create a subclass of jw.jzbot.fact.Function in the package jw.jzbot.fact.functions, and place its .class files in classes/jw/jzbot/fact/functions. I know this fixed-package naming is less than intuitive, and I plan to add a configuration file in the future that can be used to register functions in other classes or folders. I'm also thinking of making a plugins folder where groups of functions can be registered at a time by including jar files.

If you've created a function that does something useful, and you wouldn't mind making it open-source, visit http://github.com/javawizard/jzbot⁠ and submit a pull request.
