Ducks, golden and rare flights, ammunition, fatigue, loot, shops, curses and hunting incidents.
pyDuckHunt
A fast and replayable Duck Hunt game bot for IRC — now available in English and French.
PYDUCKHUNT NOW SPEAKS ENGLISH
pyDuckHunt rebuilds the classic IRC hunt around a deterministic game engine, durable event journal and bounded IRC runtime.
Choose English or French at installation. Both languages share the same game rules, persistent scores and private Owner tools.
A digest-chained journal, atomic snapshots and deterministic transitions protect the game state.
Partyline administration, rankings, Prometheus metrics, Grafana and guarded systemd packaging.
The #i/o pilot turns player feedback and reference behaviour into tested, durable contracts.
Install in English
The installer creates a local environment and a private configuration set to English.
For French, use ./install.sh --language fr.
Then configure your IRC server and channel. Nothing connects or starts automatically.
git clone https://github.com/teuk/pyDuckHunt.git
cd pyDuckHunt
./install.sh --language en
Coin is hunting on EpiKnet
Public beta play happens on #i/o, with Coin in French.
Expect active tuning: the contracts may evolve, and there is deliberately no tag or GitHub Release yet.
Special thanks to gaby
For testing Coin on #i/o, spotting bugs, and helping make the game better — one duck at a time.

Eggdrop
IRC bots, TCL scripts and more.
This section contains notes about Eggdrop and Windrop, including Tcl scripting, portable builds, HTTPS/TLS compatibility, performance tuning, and general bot maintenance.
Eggdrop is the oldest Internet Relay Chat (IRC) bot still in active development. Originally created by Robey Pointer in December 1993 for use on a channel called #gayteen, it has spawned an almost cult-like following of users.
It is a feature rich program designed to be easily used and expanded upon (using Tcl scripting) by both novice and advanced IRC users on a variety of hardware and software platforms.
Tcl/Tk 9.0 is the latest major release of both Tcl and Tk. It features many new capabilities, and presents some incompatibilities with Tcl/Tk 8.
