Gaming Masters' Programming Thread

Gaming Masters' Programming Thread

I'm disappointed that there's no programming thread in this forum.

I know half of GM know fuck all about programming but maybe this thread will encourage you to learn a programming language or you could just tell us how awesome our programs are.

I'll post my first venture with C#. Consolas IRC bot.



Here you can see the modular system including the response files which look like this because I'm not good enough to implement a scripting language yet.

• hello.txt
  
  Code:

  Hello to you too, {nickname}.

• time.txt
  
  Code:

  The time is {hours}:{minutes}.

• topic.txt
  
  Code:

  The channel topic is '{topic}'.

After all that is parsed into a Hashtable full of responses we connect to Freenode IRC and join #consolas.

The bot automatically grabs the topic and then listens for commands. When it receives one, it runs a foreach through the Hashtable of responses and checks for one that matches the command. If it matches, It'll replace the tags like {nickname} with the nick of the person who executed the query and then outputs the message to the channel.

Source code for OnChannelMessage Event Handler.

Code:

static void IRC_OnChannelMessage(Data ircdata)
{
    string Command = ircdata.MessageEx[0];
    string Nick = ircdata.Nick;

    if (Command.StartsWith("!"))
    {
        Command = Command.Substring(1, Command.Length - 1);

		Consolas.Program.WriteLine("Recieved command '" + Command + "'.", ConsoleColor.DarkGreen);

		foreach (DictionaryEntry Entry in StaticResponses)
		{
			if (Entry.Key.ToString().ToLower() == Command.ToLower()) {
				string ParsedString = Entry.Value.ToString();

				ParsedString = ParsedString.Replace("{nickname}", Nick);
				ParsedString = ParsedString.Replace("{hours}", Consolas.Program.GetTime()["Hour"].ToString());
				ParsedString = ParsedString.Replace("{minutes}", Consolas.Program.GetTime()["Minute"].ToString());
				ParsedString = ParsedString.Replace("{seconds}", Consolas.Program.GetTime()["Second"].ToString());
				ParsedString = ParsedString.Replace("{topic}", Consolas.Program.Topic);

				Consolas.Program.MessageChannel(ircdata.Channel, ParsedString);
			}
		}

		/* need a dispenser here */
    }
    else
    {
        Consolas.Program.WriteLine("<" + ircdata.Nick + "> " + ircdata.Message, ConsoleColor.White);
    }
}

Keep in mind, I'm only a beginner.

..and over to you!

Oh hey, awesome. I love XMs/MODs. Good luck with that.

 

Re: Gaming Masters' Programming Thread

I am not logic enough to program alot D:

Probably because I use the right hemisphere of my brain more deeply than I should.

 

Re: Gaming Masters' Programming Thread

Had this on my mind for a while but I finally wanted to get my head around the JSON library.

Reag... . _ .

 

Re: Gaming Masters' Programming Thread

Ahem.

 

Re: Gaming Masters' Programming Thread

And what's the actual useful function? O.o

 

Re: Gaming Masters' Programming Thread

None at all, it was simply a learning tool I'd guess.

 

Re: Gaming Masters' Programming Thread

Yeah. It's as useless as Hello world.

 

Re: Gaming Masters' Programming Thread

Hahaha, it takes 3 seconds to complete a query.

 

Re: Gaming Masters' Programming Thread

Funny, doesn't even take me a second. I'm sure you're smart enough to know that query completion time is all about internet speed.
