Programming 8

[godofcereal]

As Defience said, pick a program language and google tutorials for it.

Yes, I know. What programming language is used in this mission?

[godofcereal]

As far as I know php, python and perl. Im using perl for my bot. Not sure if you can use any other language.

I started out using perl for my bot- worked great up until the kick(), some reason didn't work so in the end i went with a lower level python socket approach

Any language that can do socket programming can be used to complete this mission. Quite a broad list actually.

I would definitely not consider python low level, especially for socket programming. Python makes the whole ordeal quite simple actually.

i used perl for this mission too. I used the very nice and easy to use Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable Framework ... BUT i had to extend the implementation so kick(), emote() and notice() works (for this to work you have to know about how BasicBot works and how it uses the POE Framework).

PS: i hope this tip isn't considered as "too much info" ... BUT i think that EVERYONE who really thought about implementing this mission in perl thought about using Bot::BasicBot ... its just how CPAN works, it has always the right solution .

finally finished it -_-
yea, the problem (for me atleast) really was the IP. but even after i changed it, moo kept telling me im too slow (even it only took me about 2 seconds because i had to wait for auto op)... was pretty much luck, i just spammed kick moo as fast as i can when i entered the ch and eventually it worked.

My issues were also related to the IP address problem. I connected to irc.* rather than the IP given.

After changing the IP my solution worked perfectly.

I did mine in complete C#, but then again, I'd already written a full-featured IRC client in C# and was able to just modify it slightly to work with the commands given.

On a side note, it is actually possible to do this in mIRC even though the level says it isn't. It just takes a little something extra. I won't give more hints than that, other than to say it is indeed possible.

Quote from website:

moo will version the bot to check if you aren't using mIRC

They never say it isn't possible, they just try to stop you using MIRC because they actually want to to program something rather than the easier scripting alternative

I wrote my bot in Python and used mirc to communicate with my bot to complete the challenge.
