Beancounter is a Java 8 IRC bot being developed for the LizardIRC network, both as a general-purpose bot and to serve games over IRC. Though it is developed by and for the LizardIRC network, it should work on any network, and as such we have decided to develop it as an open source project.
General documentation, including the bot's commands, can be found on LizardIRC's website here.
To build Beancounter from source, you'll need the Java SE 8 JDK and Apache Maven (version 3.0.0 or later recommended). You can also use a Maven-compatible IDE, such as IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse, instead of Maven.
Simply clone the repository, run mvn package, and run the resulting jarfile! The bot will automatically create a
default configuration file for you then terminate, so you have a chance to set things up; then just run the bot again!
For more information about running the bot itself, please visit LizardIRC's Beancounter documentation.
As an open source project, you are welcome to contribute to Beancounter's development!
