Comicbot Installation & Configuration How-To

Introduction:

For This guide we will be using PPF (Pirc Plugin Framework), which is essentially a more beefed up and nifty version of Pircbot.

As for our OS will be using Windows XP to run PPF in a Java environment, PPF is cross-platform due to it being written entirely in Java. (which means the steps for installation and configuration are fundamentally the same for any other OS..)

If for some odd reason your browsing this page and you still don't fully understand what a comicbot is.. then let me quote the authors website.

“Comic Bot is an IRC bot based on the PircBot framework. It sits quietly in a channel, observing what people say. When it sees something that may have been amusing, it quickly generates a cartoon comic strip which can be viewed on the web. The frequency at which this page updates is obviously dependant on how busy (and how funny!) the channel is.” ~ http://www.jibble.org/comicbot/
