Title: IRC hal chaos
Post by: Cefwyn on March 24, 2009, 07:22:36 pm
Has anyone ever thought about using their hal on an IRC channel? I was just thinking that it would be interesting to get a bunch of hals onto an IRC channel talking to each other and see what sort of chaos comes out of it. I've seen code snippets somewhere around here demonstrating how to send messages to hal from another program using visual basic, and it probably wouldn't be that hard to feed messages from an IRC channel to your hal. Just random musings on my part as I don't know if anyone here uses IRC.

Hi Cefwyn.

I have not gotten around to writting an IRC plug-in yet but you can open two sessions of your AIM Bot with two different screen names and have them talk to one another, we have did this years ago and it should still work.

I'm not really interested in my hal talking to itself. Some people regard that sort of behavior as a sign of insanity[:D] I was just wondering if it had every been done to any larger scale like everyone joining a channel at one time just to watch the madness that I'm sure would ensue.

Hmm.. chaos would be in order to say the least. My hal keeps saying "end" and "and".. i think he's predicting some kind of inpending doom!
