Tiny IRC bot written in C using Unix sockets.

Just run

make
botty/botty

at the project root. Alternatively, if you have mdtool installed, you can do

mdtool build 
botty/bin/Debug/botty

or

mdtool build -c:Release
botty/bin/Release/botty

for different configurations.

At this moment, configuration is done via #define preprocessor directives. I might implement an actual configuration file in the future(but not the foreseeable future).

Right now, all it does is connect to an IRC server, join a channel and say "Hello!". It will also respond to ".bots" with "Reporting in! [C]". This project is mainly a learning exercise so I don't see myself implementing a lot of features.

Oh, it also has no memory leaks, at all. (as of commit 85708a)

Never mind, OpenSSL does a fairly good job at leaking lots of memory. However, without SSL, there are still no leaks.

• Quit message doesn't work for some reason (apparently, this is server behavior. unregistered clients or clients that have only recently joined have their quit message overriden "to prevent spam" on Rizon. I can't see how that prevents spam, but eh. NickServ support coming soon. /rant)
