Introducing bot version 3! A complete re-write has taken place to make the code a little less messy and more easily understood. Furthermore the bot now takes advantage of my module DogeChat-Bot to simplify the process.
This is an open source chat bot written in node.js for the website DogeChat found in the #bot room. It takes advantage of the socket.io-client npm module to communicate with the site as if it were a client using the chat site.
To run the bot you must first install node.js and preferably npm for installing its dependencies. From a command window located in the root directory type npm install to install the required modules.
<par> is a required parameter, however you do not need to type the <>
[par] is an optional parameter, again you do not need to type the []
To top up your balance simply tip bot an amount.
/tip bot <amt>
To check your balance use the !bal command as shown below.
!bal
To cashout your balance it must be over 5 DOGE. You can either cashout your whole balance or a set amount using the command below.
!cashout [amt]
[amt] is optional, if not specified your whole balance will be tipped to you. If it is specified you will withdraw this amount.
To donate part or all of your balance to the bot to help fund its future development and hosting costs then you can use the donate command shown below.
!donate [amt]
[amt] is optional, if not specified your whole balance will be donated. If it is specified you will only donate this amount.
Once you have some DOGE in your balance you can roll the dice to gamble with it. The command is as follows.
!roll <bet>
Where is the amount you wish to bet. This will roll 2 dice and display the results. For example if you wanted to bet 20 DOGE you would type:
!roll 20
The odds for winning are as follows:
- Double 6 - 4x your bet
- Double - 2x your bet
- Single 6 - 1.5x your bet
There is a 4 in 9 chance of winning a prize.
To check the latest price of DogeCoin use the command below. The price of DogeCoin is taken from Cryptsy and the price of Bitcoin for converting into fiat currencies is taken from the BitcoinAverage Price Index. To simply get the price of DogeCoin in BTC you need not specify any parameters.
!doge [amount] [currency]
Where [amount] is the amount in DogeCoin you wish to convert and [currency] is the fiat currency you wish to convert into (if not specified it will be converted to BTC). The two parameters for this command are both optional. Supported fiat currency codes are: AUD, BRL, CAD, CHF, CNY, EUR, GBP, HKD, ILS, MXN, NOK, NZD, PLN, RON, RUB, SEK, SGD, TRY, USD and ZAR.
For example if you wanted to check what 1000 DogeCoin was in GBP you could use the command as follows:
!doge 1000 GBP
This is available in multiple rooms as well as #bot at the request of certain room owners. If you want this ticker in your room PM cainy.
Due to the issues with MtGox this command does not currently work. This will be fixed ASAP.
Bot takes advantage of the powerful Wolfram Alpha website to bring you informative artificial intelligence. You can make queries to Wolfram Alpha using the command as shown below:
!ai <query string>
For example if you wanted to know what the weather was like in New York you could type:
!ai Whats the weather like in New York?
Or if you prefer:
!ai weather new york

!flirt <user>

You can search Google and have the top result returned to you in the chat using the command as shown below:
