It scrapes the vote thread, makes a vote count, logs you into a browser and automatically posts the vote count nicely formatted into the vote thread. I'm currently working on: Making it follow a deadline. Scheduling it to post every x minutes/hours. Somehow working out a way for people to request a !votecount and the bot posting it <--- probably most important currently Eventually it will be a bot that hosts its own game. Eventually. I'm learning about classes and pickling so that will be the next project. I could probably make it into a UI at some point when I learn that too! At the moment it's just a bunch of python scripts. | ||

Originally voting thread is because host = lazy And now you wanna make your bot lazy? lol Well the vote count hourly will be in the vote thread. If someone requests a votecount (in the vote thread still most likely) it can post it in the actual thread. It's no big deal to change where it posts the vote count, it just would take a lot more time to get a response from the bot if it has to parse through all the pages (because currently it redoes the whole scrape of the vote thread each time). The reason the vote thread is a lot quicker for a bot is that it will take about 3 seconds to parse through the 5 or so pages in a vote thread looking for commands rather than the 200+ pages on the main thread. I could and probably will figure out a way to get this scraping thing to remember where it left off to minimise the time it takes and that would enable it to be much quicker in the main thread though. | ||

Then rayn can have his precious thread votes :D | ||

This is not final, it's not ready for release. It's open to any kind of features people want for now and I can make a list and see what I can do. This is a test thread. | ||
