Trivia Bot by Joe[e2]
« on: December 22, 2005, 11:49:20 pm »
Applying finishing touches.

Notes
There is no chat interface. Its simply six labelboxes and a bunch of menus.
It's based heavily off of JBBE (mostly copy and paste).

Features
External commands to start and stop trivia
You're able to specify what question file to use, so you can have more than one
Questions are all stored in RAM, so there will be no hard-drive interaction, unless the questions get paged for some reason
Colorful user interface! Woo!

I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

...
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

It has a colourful interface, though, you can't chat with it? Ok, then. ???

Its six label boxes, three to describe the other three, which show you your connection status, current channel, and trivia status.

Make it run as a windows service, and take away the form!

Port svchost.h

I don't think it'd be possible to port (VB files don't compile the same way and don't export functions), but you could write an ActiveX DLL and then use Skywing's service host to call your VB program from COM.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.

Changes
In place of adding a queue, I've decided to bump the timer delay up a second, to 6000ms.
Commands have been renamed to tbstart and tbstop.
Commands tbkill and tbver have been added, and are hardcoded to only allow Joe[e2] and InsaneJoey[e2] to access them.

Enjoy!

That seems pretty useless, other then to know that you have power over everything...

Yeah, but of course, it could be used maliciously or something (I don't know how though =p).

Thanks to whoever removed those last posts.

Changes
Added score system.
Handling 0x00.

I implemented those commands because Stealth has those in StealthBot. Why don't you all go bitch at him?

Then you should love me too! =)

Changes
Changed the form backcolor to grey, because the current backcolor doesn't look very good with green text on it.
Added a chatting interface. Its not pretty, but it works.
