Making an IRC bot in Java? - gelloe - 02-26-2014
Scratch that, how do you make an IRC bot all together? It's so confusing.
RE: Making an IRC bot in Java? - tokumei - 02-26-2014
First of all, make sure you know a language that's common for developing an IRC client. Some of the ones I would use are Python, Java, or C/C++. If you know how to handle TCP sockets and parse strings in one of those languages, then you're good to go. As for the IRC protocol (how you communicate with the server), check out a couple of Request For Comments that define the protocol, google "rfc 1459" and "rfc 2812", or simply google "irc protocol" and look for a tutorial instead of reading those long passages.

The IRC protocol is really not that hard once you get used to it. It's just a matter of understanding the basic commands.

There was like a 500 page documentation of rfc 1459 and rfc 2812, then the next link I clicked was also a huge documentation. Are there any sources that don't lead to a gigantic page like that?

Anywhere I can find these basic commands?

However, you should really read http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1459.html if you want to understand how IRC works.

It's not so much of a big deal anymore... Plus it's a good learning experience
