MB-01

MB-01 (or Moby for short) is a cool IRCbot by Screwtape.

1. Take a botbase like dagny
2. Add a Markov Chaining engine like this
3. Mix together thoroughly with Python magic.. and presto!

MB-01!

I'm very impressed with dagny - it's largely the shell of an IRC bot, with the ability to plug in arbitary event handlers, that trigger then the bot gets a message that matches your specified regexp.

An infobot-style bot is a simple application of a regexp that matches "is" and "are" and whatever comes before and after them.

For the Markov chainer, I store each word along with the people who used it, so you can get an entirely random Markov chain, or a Markov chain that imitates the style of a particular person. It will also generate a chain guaranteed to contain a particular word, if a sentence including that word has been mentioned in the bot's presence.
