rbot 0.9.11 is out!

Get it now!

Packaged as a Ruby gem, a gzipped tarball, and a zip file.

Your favourite Ruby IRC bot has reached a new important milestone. Aside from your typically expected features such as factoids management and chat quotes, it comes with additional useful and less useful (but always enticing) features such as:

• calculator (simple inline or using Google. You can now calculate the answer to life, the universe and everything!)
• RSS feed tracking
• Google, YouTube, IMDB search
• Twitter, last.fm, del.icio.us, digg interfaces
• LART, praise, and karma
• 8-Ball divination, excuse generation, grouphug confessions
• Weather status checking (who wants to look out of the window, really?)
• Chuck Norris quotes, 'They-fight-crime' movie plots, bash.org
• A plethora of games!
  • Russian roulette
  • Quiz
  • A-Z (find the word the bot is thinking of!)
  • shiritori
  • roshambo (rock-paper-scissors)
  • UNO!
  • Wheel Of Fortune

Not good enough for you? Never fear, extending rbot is easy and a lot of fun:

• reactions and inline scripts allow you to quickly define new ways to have the bot interact with users
• for more complex stuff, new plugins can easily be written and added at runtime: rbot exposes a powerful yet simple API just for that
