= MadLibs =
|
||||
Madlibs is a game where a player is asked for many different words that are
|
||||
then inserted into an existing story template. Using different words results
|
||||
in very different stories!
|
||||
|
||||
The Madlib library contains several functions that assist in reading a .madlib
|
||||
files, querying a user for input, and constructing a resulting story.
|
||||
|
||||
= MadLibBot =
|
||||
Madlibbot is an IRC bot that utilizes the madlibs library to play MadLibs in
|
||||
an IRC channel.
|
||||
|
||||
= Usage =
|
||||
The madlibbot resides in the "#madlibs" channel on the tilde.town server.
|
||||
Saying "madlibbot: startgame" will start a new game of madlibs
|
||||
When asked for a word, reply with "madlibbot: WORD". This is so multiple
|
||||
players may banter in a channel without accidentally answering the bot.
|
||||
Use the command "madlibbot: !quit" to end a game prematurely.
|
||||
|
||||
= Format =
|
||||
If you would like to make your own stories discoverable by madlibbot, create a
|
||||
directory named "madlibs" in your home directory (eg "/home/krowbar/madlibs").
|
||||
Inside, add story templates that have the extension ".madlib" (eg
|
||||
"My_Good_Story.madlib"). Underscores will be changed to spaces when displayed
|
||||
in IRC.
|
||||
MadLib files are plain text and use double mustaches to denote words that will
|
||||
be filled in by a user. An example is below:
|
||||
|
||||
""" Short_Story.madlib
|
||||
This is a {{an adjective}} story.
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
When this story is run, the bot will ask users the following:
|
||||
"""
|
||||
madlibbot: Give me an adjective:"
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
= Future Plans =
|
||||
* Allow users to specify the full path to a madlib file.
|
||||
** Make sure you filter only "\*.madlib" files so you don't accidentally grant
|
||||
elevated read permissions!
|
||||
* Allow story writers the ability to specify that a single answer should be
|
||||
used multiple times in a story
|
||||
** Maybe specified like {{#a noun#}} or {{#a noun#4}}
|
||||
* Create word-munging options that can be specified for a word to modify given
|
||||
user input
|
||||
** Capital - convert "foo" to "Foo"
|
||||
** AllCaps - convert "bar" to "BAR"
|
||||
** Numeric - convert "3" to "three"
|
||||
** Ordinal - convert "3" to "third"
