<anything to refute anything kat says>
This is a great example of why i have not made more Euphoria code in the last ten years, and instead done as little as possible. Eubot was a huge release of code (tho not as huge as win32lib), and it's socks were on tcp4u (so it not working on linux wasn't my problem). It was pretty much ignored, except for jimbrown, who was busy promoting his(?) non-Eu "tbrbot":
Session Start: Fri May 30 00:38:01 2003 [00:38] *** Now talking in #EuBot [00:38] *** Topic is 'Bots made in Euphoria! And my bot, tbrbot, made in C++, of course!' [00:38] *** Set by tbrown on Sun May 11 15:03:39Scooby had an impressive bot in BeZeLBuB in 2002, based on an eggdrop he downloaded, he also took his offline. Robz had a bot, also now offline. Unkmar had Botmar. My Tiggr isn't on any irc anywhere now.
Prior to Eu v4, there were occasional bugs in Euphoria like:
[23:09] <EuMario> Kat, did you have trouble with EuBot Hanging at the pause when you first log into the server? [23:10] <tbrown> from tbrbot's console [23:10] <kat> yeas, that is a known Eu bug [23:10] <kat> it happens *sometimes* when a console is opened, so RobC won't fix it [23:10] <kat> press enter [23:22] <useless> [22:28] <useless> if getc/s() is ever used, like i use it for seeing if you press 'Q', it often hangs the app the first time around [23:22] <scooby> nope [23:22] <useless> you can search the email archives for that bug, RDS won't/cannot fixitand tcp4u had issues, the other 3rd party dll we used for internet connections back then had issues. The irc apps using WinSock.ew / Srvsckip.ew worked great until win32lib was upgraded, and then the apps no longer worked. I think Scooby did a code fix to not use win32lib, but it didn't work for me. As far as i know, no one made a gui as functional as mirc's for any irc bot in Euphoria, but both versions of my Eu bot code interfacing Eu to mirc were shot dead on arrival.
Anyhow, nothing happened the last 10 years. I deleted more proven good bot code than most people ever write, because it's all deemed useless. In those 10 years, we could have built a huge codebase, doing many Ai functions, with whatever popular interfaces people wanted, not just irc. Tiggr also built html pages on the fly, data mined webpages, sent and recieved email, etc etc.. All a huge waste. In the 2002-2003 timeframe, we had the right people, i think, we could have built Skynet by now, and jimbrown would be picking at it till it died.
