KDB+ end-to-end RSA encrypted chat fun
Clone this repo from here.
The main server file is chatter.q. This file contains a list of and loads the necessary files required to run the chat process.
q chatter.q -p 1234 -admin user1 -users user1-user2
With challenge mode off clients may connect by opening a q session and connecting to the server process:
hopen 1234
On first connection the client will be asked to provide public and private keys in the format n e where n is the shared component between the keys.
If sucessful keys are provided the client will be connected.
Client can type a \h to access a help message and \ to access a list of functions, a selection of which are detailed below:
\q quit
\u list active users
\c change username colour
Bots provide additional functionality and are handled by a worker process which allows them to make HTTP requests without interupting the chat process.
Several chat bots are available that may be called from backslash \ commands:
\ne Pulls random article from selected sources
\bc Gives current bitcoin price
\bc plot plot current bitcoin price
\ml Look up currently playin track from a user
To create a bot server code must be defined in bots.q and worker code in worker.q.
In bots.q a help message should be added to labels and an input handler should be defined, with its name added to tf. The bots name should be added to workernames.
In worker.q a function to handle the input and make any HTTP requests should be added. This function should return its result to the worker function.
Chat filter functions are extended by adding to flist.tsv - a tab separated document of the format
funcname1 {func1}
funcname2 {func2}
Functions must be monadic, and return a suitably modified input string. Calls to external functions should to avoid slowing of the main chat functionality - preferably these should be handled by the worker process.
