Well, this is my fourth IRC bot. Or actually this should evolve into a IRC bot engine. Currently it is quite limited, but the basic stuff is there, and not so much is missing before I can start enriching the features.
However I would need help. Help in following things:
1. GNU make / gcc/linker options. (no autotools!!!)
My makefiles are a mess. And I do not really have the needed competence to enchance them.
2. Tester(s) using linux on x86 architecture. (This can also include user guide improvements, no coding skills are compulsory.)
3. C-capable coder to speed the development, share thoughts && note the bugs I'm blind to see.
4. Help with testing and fixing issues on x86_64. (Low prio since I cannot find the time to do all needed things there so easily).
5. A GUI program for config file genetation (propably not with C

Also if anyone wants to tackle following things...
1. Architecture limitation. Currently only x86 family of processors is supported. I would need some asm for other processors to make my atomic compare and swap to work.
2. (item 4 abowe. If someone want's to fix the x86_64 compatibility all by him/herself, that is more than fine

3. Windows port.
If anyone is interested in testing/developing, following places are a good start:
http://blackdiam.net/wiki/index.php/MazBotV4 (Wiki containing for example the user guide. The development specific section is badly unfinished && quite dated...)
http://blackdiam.net/svn/MazBot/trunc Development repository. You can browse with web browser, or anonymously checkout.
For testing I however suggest using one of the releases in http://blackdiam.net/svn/MazBot/releases/, For example http://blackdiam.net/svn/MazBot/releases/0.2.1/
On linux, command
svn checkout http://blackdiam.net/svn/MazBot/releases/0.2.1/
should do it. The trunk can often be in unusable state

http://blackdiam.net/forum/index.php/topic,60063.0.html Roadmap (well... some kind of. Actually, this is more like status/info thread. Last posts are most interesting.

Oh, and if this is strictly games only forum, then I will add the anagram game (or somesuch) in the bot

Oh, and if anyone checks this out, please leave me at least a comment about your first impressions, any thoughts that come in to mind
