How to run

Pinobot is made up of two components:

• pinobot-frontend : This part connects to IRC network.
• pinobot-monsterdb : This part connects to pinobot-frontend.

This design allows you to independently upgrade pinobot-monsterdb, without needing to disconnect Pinobot from IRC.

There is a file called pinobot_config.toml in the root of this repository. When you run pinobot, it will look for this file to figure out where it should connect, what nickname it should use, etc.

# Assuming cabal and ghc are installed.

# Terminal 1
$ cabal new-run pinobot-frontend

# Terminal 2, after `pinobot-frontend` has launched
$ cabal new-run pinobot-monsterdb

How to make Pinobot join and leave channels

cabal new-run pinobot-join '#foobar'

cabal new-run pinobot-part '#foobar'

Patch

The NetHack code that was used in the generation of monster data is given as a patch in patch/unixmain.patch. You need to patch the file sys/unix/unixmain.c with that patch file.

You don't need to mess with the patch file unless you are a developer and want to hack with the data for some reason.
