Spring RTS Engine

This is just outrageous :D

[11:40:23 PM] * [AF]Cookiebot Next question: whih royal wedding of the eighties is now scandelously coming apart?
[11:40:29 PM] <hrmph> skip
[11:40:30 PM] * [AF]Cookiebot : The correct answer was: charles and di

lol

I thought some people would do it instead of me but guess not.

I'll probably send AF a couple dozen of TA-related questions/basic questions soon =P.

I could pop in some gundam trivia.

it takes the format

question*answer


every line is a question/answer combo

No time insensitive questions like "how old is vin deisle" please. Like the charles and di question they will just end up looking stupid in a year.

I will whip up some spring related questions. What else is involved in the syntax? All thats needed is a text file with several question * answer(\n) ?

Also can you add a small feature where someone can answer 1 instead of one or vice versa?

Oooooo, what would be an awesome feature is if there was some kind of bonus round every 25 minutes where everyone gets a chance to place a cookie bet (up to 20 or something) (done in #trivia), then the question is asked in #trivia... users will then send in their answer via private message; as people win or loss their bets cookiebot posts results in #trivia (Like 'hrmph just lost his bet of 10 cookies!').

What language is this written in? If it is C I offer my help....

Java

I'm not sure how I'd set up that latter bit. Instead I'm thinking::

Cookie moderators adding question/answer combos
Adding questions from urls
The ability to strike the current question off the list so it never appears again
The ability for moderators to see the answers
Skipping the question if a mdoerator posts the answer after its revealed
Allowing moderators to change the answer
Adding ' and , to the letters not hidden by the clue command
Randomizing which letters the clue command reveals
Adding a tiemr to prevent muliple skips by accident.

Your not sure how? Come on AF your smarter than that

If you know C you can learn java in a few mintues. All that's different is pointers and some rules. Syntax is almost identical.

Hmm maybe I'll read some tutorials then and see how it goes... I just mentioned c because awhile ago (10 years or so) I coded an irc bot in c on a debian box (in order to learn sockets). Although its been several years since I've coded anything.

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slow down there tiger! Not quite!


Java opens up a whole new box of pattywrinkles! Its not "just" C syntax with a stronger bundled API!!!

A lot of the java stuff is easier than what the C equivilant is in a lot of cases.

What hrmph asked can eb done easily, I just dont know howto use the time functions yet.
