what rooms are parrot bot going to be in?

Zizouz212

We're probably going to have a separate room for her

Trevor Clarke

wait but then will it scan all the rooms? and how will it get important questions that people host?

also can u send me the github links for both bots pls?

Zizouz212

People will have to go to the rooms, and I'm developing code for it right now, I have nothing on git yet

Trevor Clarke

8:29 PM

will it scan questions on the site tho

Zizouz212

Did you seriously delete the question?

-_-

Trevor Clarke

yup

Zizouz212

I was going to test something... And duplicates aren't bad

I had an answer to it too!

Trevor Clarke

you could use rss to scan for recent questions

Zizouz212

Issue is that rss is too slow, and it doesn't give me all the data that I need

Trevor Clarke

8:32 PM

so what are you doing then?
scanning the website itself

?

Zizouz212

You'll see... I'm working with the SE api

Trevor Clarke

tell me when ur testing I want to see.... Although cant help much.. there is only so much u can do with an ipad and wireless keyboard

Zizouz212

That's fine, but it might be a while.

I'm running into a few errors with the api

I'll let you play with it!

@TrevorClarke Both KarmaBot and ParrotBot are built off SE-Chatbot by ProgramFOX, which is in turn built off ChatExchange by Manishearth.

Hey @Ziz

Zizouz212

Hey :)

ArtOfCode

@TrevorClarke If you want to build your own, we can help out. Build it off SE-Chatbot and add modules with extra things you want

@ProgramFOX On that note, there's the next task: make the prefix changeable.

Zizouz212

Yes please!
