rbot is a powerful IRC bot written in ruby.

rbot is designed around a flexible plugin system and is not only easy to extend, but it already includes many useful plugins. Some of the powerful features include:

Runtime configuration via irc

Flexible authentication and permission system

Plugin architecture that makes writing new plugins a breeze

Integrated web service

Batteries included: plugins for rss, twitter, imdb, translations, weather, notifications, lots of games and many more (over 70 plugins included)

Install

Right now there is no current release of rbot so the best way to get it is through git, checkout the ruby-rbot/rbot (master) repository on github. Using git you can download this repository locally and easily keep it up-to-date:

git clone git://github.com/ruby-rbot/rbot.git

You can run rbot by the launch_here.rb script in the resulting rbot/ directory, but first make sure to fulfill the prerequisites (see install guide). To update your copy at a later date run:

git pull

If you are for some reason unable to use git directly you can also download a snapshot of the repository as a zip archive.
