PHP 5.4 or higher.
Clone the repo or download the zip.
Copy config-sample.php to config.php and replace the configuration options with the ones for your server.
Start the bot by running php bot.php (or ./bot.php on unix-like environments) from the command line.
Use the bot by running commands from a chat room the bot is a member of, or by messaging the bot directly. All commands start with a hash (#), but the hash can be omitted if messaging the bot directly.
Run #help to list all available commands.
Running ## will re-run the last command the bot received with the same parameters.
New commands can be added to the commands/ directory, and should contain a single returned function. See commands/say.php for a basic example.
Command help messages can be added to the command-help/ directory. They should match the command name, and have a .txt file extension.
