CinderBot - Alpha-v0.9

Description

The biggest version yet. New UI, new features, a lot of code refactoring. Now the overall size of the project goes beyond 11k lines total! It is amazing and inspiring for me. Next versions, I hope, will be lesser but more feature oriented.

I'll try to put in the next release next things: timer commands, covenants system features, subscriptions and synchronization with Kraken server. In addition, a lot of refactoring will come too =)

CinderBot - v0.4

Description

First release of my TwitchBot.

It, of course, not finished and not polished. A lot of "dirty" places in a code, custom file formats, no comments in code at all, etc. But I need a start point. And that point will be this first release.

Available features

Custom bot name

You may create Twitch user specially for bot, or use your own account. Only thing that you need is oath key. You can get it here (https://twitchapps.com/tmi/).

Chat built-in app

You can use chat in app. It is not really fancy, because only 30 messages are displayed there, no emoticons, no highlight for personal appeals, no moderator/streamer/subscriber badges and etc. But chat supports time stamp and custom color that users set for themselves.

Simple statistics

Bot gather simple statistics about users. And it includes... number of messages :D But to be honest, it already have template and field for the features, that will be included in future releases. Such as Covenants, currency that will be used for multiple things.

Custom text command

You can create custom commands! Custom name for a command, custom answer, custom number of answers, personal appeal to a user, who typed a command. Look for example in https://github.com/Vismar/CinderBot/blob/master/data/data/baseFile.data .

Standard commands

Number of standard commands are really small. Here is the list of them:

• #me - Bot will show number of messages, amount of currency and covenant.
• #messages - Bot will show number of messages.
• #currency - Bot will show amount of currency.
  Also, to be mentioned, name for currency you can set in configuration file (https://github.com/Vismar/CinderBot/blob/master/data/config/config.cfg) .

Ignore list

Sometimes you want to bot to ignore some users. So, good news, CinderBot have this feature. Check https://github.com/Vismar/CinderBot/blob/master/data/config/config.cfg file.

P.S.

If you want to help me to improve bot, just send me a feedback or create an issue. That the way to tell me what you want.
