Wizards Den

usually at home after work I randomly browse some flash game archive like newgrounds. Not much more. That said, I couldn't lose the opportunity to join the open weekend

Unihedron

lol newgrounds

Shadow Wizard

7:47 AM

@ProgramFOX feel free to release the bot, let it roam this Den :D

Welcome back, @SPArchaeologist! :)

ProgramFOX

The first thing that you should do before I start the bot: you should guess the secret feature I built!

Shadow Wizard

@Unihedron Ultima

ProgramFOX

Everyone who wants to guess (you can guess 5 times), reply here.

DroidDev

@ProgramFOX when I visit home, I just want to have a little family weekend. Nothing else. Hence, no pc. Otherwise on holidays my lappy run for more that 16 hours :)

Shadow Wizard

@ProgramFOX quite impossible without seeing the bot, no? ):

SPArchaeologist

7:49 AM

@ShadowWizard Avatar

DroidDev

@ProgramFOX it would be fun, I guess

@SPArchaeologist movie

ProgramFOX

@ShadowWizard Not impossible. It is Den-related, so you can guess it.

Unihedron

@ProgramFOX world domination?

ProgramFOX

:D

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard (I was a seer on a private uo server.....)

DroidDev

7:50 AM

@ProgramFOX Its a spell giving feature :P

SPArchaeologist

@ProgramFOX mumble... secret feature? connects to equestria daily to post the live rss feed when a new MLP comes out?

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist nice, I actually played only Mu online back when I was younger with too much time to waste, including on private servers

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX Error

ProgramFOX

@FOX9000 Y U NO WORK???

Unihedron

!!run

Shadow Wizard

7:52 AM

I fear my Protective Bubble spell here is blocking the bot :(

ProgramFOX

That error is not supposed to happen...

@FOX9000 test

(now let's see whether it replies)

Shadow Wizard

@ProgramFOX ....said the last human alive on Earth before he too fell down...

Unihedron

... any time now

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX mettle

DroidDev

this was last word in game

Shadow Wizard

7:53 AM

cool!

ProgramFOX

Well... it works anyway.

Let's try again.

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX This spell was already awarded.

@DroidDev DVD

Uh oh...

@ShadowWizard CD

7:54 AM

So @DroidDev was right, @ProgramFOX and the bot can give spells? That's the secret feature? ;)

@Unihedron MKDIR

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard command

FOX 9000

Error

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev conquer

DroidDev

hey @FOX9000, Y U NO REPLY??

@ShadowWizard :/

Shadow Wizard

hmm?

ProgramFOX

7:56 AM

@DroidDev Because it waits some time. And now it's turned off because I have to debug something.

It worked fine when running locally...

Shadow Wizard

@ProgramFOX happens to the best, when moving to prod

last word is still conquer :)

DroidDev

@ProgramFOX we are here to do some live testing on it. Don't worry, take your time :)

@ShadowWizard overcome

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev income

FOX 9000

@ShadowWizard tax

DroidDev

@FOX9000 hate

@FOX9000 khooollllllll :))))

FOX 9000

7:59 AM

@DroidDev despise

ProgramFOX

Looks like it is a threading issue. The bot wants to have the name of a user before the user is loaded.

SPArchaeologist

@FOX9000 dungeon

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist and dragon

Unihedron

brb going to mess with webhosting for a bit

ProgramFOX

Ok, I did a quick fix by making the bot sleep 5 seconds before it takes the user's name.

Shadow Wizard

8:02 AM

@Unihedron ohhh, have fun!

FOX 9000

Error

ProgramFOX

sigh

Shadow Wizard

@ProgramFOX timer is my little dirty trick when such things happen :D

or of course callbacks, but they can get messy

DroidDev

last word and dragon (by top user of den :P)

ProgramFOX

Hmm... perhaps the client takes the chat.SE user id and not the chat.MSE user id.

Shadow Wizard

8:05 AM

@ProgramFOX but then it would always fail... no?

@DroidDev double dragon

ProgramFOX

@ShadowWizard Yes, it would, so a timer won't fix that.

FOX 9000

Congratulations, @DroidDev, you have earned a new spell: Mind Reader

Yay it works!

secret busted!

>>time 5

8:06 AM

@ProgramFOX Waiting time set to 5 seconds.

ProgramFOX

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard youuuhooooo

FOX 9000

@DroidDev No associated word found.

Unihedron

@ProgramFOX quadruple

FOX 9000

@Unihedron triple

Unihedron

8:07 AM

CHEATER

ProgramFOX

Oh, that's a rule that I should still implement: don't repeat words.

Unihedron

You can't repeat words used within 10 past rounds

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard After all I have a reputation to maintain, you see I am top user in here :P

Unihedron

!!cry

DroidDev

@ProgramFOX how can we play with your bot? Are there any commands?

Shadow Wizard

8:09 AM

@ProgramFOX also I see it tries to reply to every message, need to think of a way so it would reply only when the message part of the game

DroidDev

@Unihedron four :P

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev some :D

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard O_o

@ShadowWizard thing

Shadow Wizard

FOX 9000

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard many is the word here

@FOX9000 storm

FOX 9000

@DroidDev No associated word found.

Shadow Wizard

8:13 AM

eh, you got a typo @DroidDev ;)

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard and now, it won't reply

Shadow Wizard

I expect the bot to say "did you mean "storm"? :D

DroidDev

somebody else has to get the chain running

@ShadowWizard or it should reply "typo"

Shadow Wizard

yup

ProgramFOX

@ShadowWizard It has something to detect that, it only replies to messages in the format "@user word".

@DroidDev Yes, but not many. Some examples:

>>time 20

FOX 9000

8:22 AM

@ProgramFOX Waiting time set to 20 seconds.

ProgramFOX

>>viewspells 244282

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX DroidDev has earned the following spells: Mind Reader

ProgramFOX

The time and viewspells commands can be used by everyone.

Most spells are auto-awarded; if someone can get a spell, it is added to the spell queue. This queue is emptied once every 15 minutes.

iStimple

@DroidDev rain

DroidDev

@iStimple fall

FOX 9000

8:24 AM

@iStimple downpour

@DroidDev niagara

ProgramFOX

(that's not supposed to happen, normally it only replies to the last word)

But here, DroidDev replied quickly before the bot did, so...

Unihedron

(sighs) (shooks head)

iStimple

the bot is too good!

Shadow Wizard

lol, good work @ProgramFOX!

DroidDev

@FOX9000 water

Shadow Wizard

8:28 AM

@DroidDev melon

DroidDev

good work indeed @ProgramFOX it also awarded a spell

how to get a new one?

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard salt

FOX 9000

@SPArchaeologist pepper

ProgramFOX

@DroidDev Currently, there is still one spell (I'll add more). How to get it? By trying. The next spell has something to do with commands.

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev I think it should be a pleasant surprise, like the original intention of badges on SO ;)

ProgramFOX

8:29 AM

Ugh, I accidentially removed earnedSpells.txt through Git, will re-award it.

Shadow Wizard

@FOX9000 Dr

FOX 9000

Congratulations, @DroidDev, you have earned a new spell: Mind Reader

ProgramFOX

Got to go now for 1-2 hours, enjoy the bot!

@FOX9000 constipation

FOX 9000

@ShadowWizard indigestion

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard don't worry, my ego was already crushed when they found me hiding atop the tree in Cantermore... in about 10 seconds (flat). A place where I hoped no one would think to even look.

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist oh, that indeed is ego crasher! ;(
