IRC-Chess Description

IRC-Chess project is a 2-player chess game for IRC which turns a computer into an IRC chess bot. IRC-Chess project is a 2-player chess game for IRC which turns a computer into an IRC chess bot.It consists of a Java chess server, with frontend scripts to convert an IRC client into a chess bot. Players then communicate with the bot using standard IRC commands, and don't require any special software to play. Frontend scripts are available for IRSSI and X-Chat.The client is merely responsible for interpreting this data and displaying it. In this way, porting the system to a variety of IRC clients is very simple, sincethe client script will be short, and effectively contain no code specific to the game being played. In other words, the Java part is smart. The script is dumb and is just there to make things look pretty. This idea works. Currently, client scripts have been designed for RSSI and XChat. Since both these programs use Perl for scripting, the scripts are practically identical, with a few client specific modifications. Porting this script to other IRC clients shouldnt be too much of a hassle, since it's just the frontend that's ported, not the chess game itself. Anyone wanting to create frontend scripts for other IRC clients, please feel free to do so. The PROTOCOL file describes exactly what needs to be done.Requirements:· jdk-1.3 or greater What's New in This Release:· Initial Release
