# IRC-BF

### [Click here if you just want to read the code](https://github.com/SirCmpwn/bf-irc-bot/blob/master/irc-bot.bf)

An IRC bot written in brainfuck.

## Usage

I've included a simple brainfuck interpreter that uses a TCP connection for input and output.

You can probably run this through a regular old brainfuck interpreter and do some crazy shit to wire it
up to a TCP connection, but I didn't feel like it. You can probably make something work with socat.

You can use the custom bf interpreter like this:

    netfuck hostname:port path/to/code.bf

For example, to connect the bot to freenode, use this:

    netfuck irc.freenode.net:6667 irc-bot.bf

If you use netfuck on Linux or Mac, you need to install mono and prefacae every command with `mono`, for
instance, `mono netfuck.exe hostname:port path/to/code.bf`.

Then, to get it into your favorite channel, use this from IRC:

    /msg bfbot J #channelname

## Included Programs

A couple of simple C# programs are included.

* bf.exe: A simple brainfuck interpreter.
* netfuck.exe: A brainfuck interpreter that uses TCP for input/output.
* asciitodec.exe: Converts an ASCII string to decimal to make my life easier

## Status

Current capabilities of the bot:

* Connect to IRC, respond to PING and such
* When PRIVMSGed with "J #channelname", it joins #channelname
* In-channel, use "$message" to have "message" echoed back to you
