Use an existing IRC engine or write our own? #3

Never really tried to, but as far as I know it's fairly easy to do whatever you want with IRC?

I don't really have an opinion in this matter :P

The obvious choice here is to see if we can find an existingone that fits all our requirements .

All our requirements ? Dunno.

melburn commented 10 years ago

We don't have that many requirements. integration with twitch? easy setup with username? being able to distinguish from votes already counted? anything else?

http://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/1302780-twitch-irc basically, twitch requires an oauth token to connect. so for twitch:

  1. we need an irc engine that supports bots
  2. we need a tool that can get an oauth token and give it to the irc engine
  3. we need a bot that parses messages and communicates with the chess engine

for not twitch:

  1. we need an irc engine that supports bots
  2. we need an embedded irc-chat
  3. we need a bot that parses messages and communicates with the chess engine
