Clue-Bot

Clue-Bot is up and running! Join #miniclue to play!

I've learned that a dangerously high amount of people don't know how to play Clue. Here's a Wikipedia article!

Currently issues and stuff:
- It's honor system that you're moving your piece as far as you should. It wouldn't be too much work to change this, but I sorta like it this way
- Currently, a "formal accusation" is just a suggestion that is performed while the player is in the Cellar. Should this be changed to let people formally accuse anywhere?

Clue-Bot How-To

First, if Akobo is in the room, type "akoboclue" to make sure it's clue-ing up.

Characters: Scarlet, Mustard, White, Green, Peacock, Plum
Weapons: Candlestick, Knife, LeadPipe, Revolver, Rope, Wrench
Rooms: Kitchen, Ballroom, Conservatory, DiningRoom, BilliardRoom, Library, Lounge, Hall, Study
Capitalization isn't important, but spelling and lack of spaces is!

Chat Commands:
!start : Use to initiate a game of Clue.
!join Character : Join the game as the specified character.
!startgame : Once all the desired players have joined, this gives out the cards and starts the action.

--Player-Only-Commands--
!stay: On your turn, forfeit your movement action.
!roll : On your turn, roll 2d6.
!move Space : After rolling, move to the desired space (ex: A15, O8, I4, Kitchen).
!passage : On your turn, if in a room with a secret passage, moves you to the corresponding room.
!suggest Character Weapon : On your turn while in a room, suggest that the given character performed the murder with the given weapon in your current room.
!accuse Character Weapon Room : Same as !suggest, however this is your final accusation and determines whether you win or lose. May be done from any room, but not from a hallway.
!pass : On your turn, if you could otherwise suggest, you may choose to not make a suggestion instead.
!terminate : If you want to end the game early for some reason (someone came in and wants to play etc), this starts a countdown to end the game in 20 seconds.
!stopterminate : Stops the termination countdown, saving the game from a sad fate.
!board : Shows the board state, in case you forgot.
!cards : Tells you how many cards each player has.
!timeout : Usable after a player has not responded for a long enough time (60sec) to skip their turn.
!forcecard : Usable after a player has been told to present evidence and has not responded for a long enough time (60sec) to make them show a random applicable card.

PM Commands:
!help : Get the bot to tell you some reference information without having to come back here.

--Player-Only-Commands--
!show Card : Show the bot a certain card in your hand (when asked for evidence to refute a suggestion). The bot will show the necessary player the card.
!mycards : Get shown your hand again in case you forgot to jot it down and you lost your PM window or something.

Other stuff:
!murder: Someone kills someone with a thing, can someone stop it?!
!dcmurder: Someone from DC kills someone from DC with a thing, can someone stop it?!
!akobomurder: Akobo kills someone and hides their body! :O

not in here! 

anyway, this poll is rendered worthless now anyway, because I made the real board, and you can look at it here if you're interested. If I made any error copying the board, feel free to say so

Awesome job, Ako! \o/

Also, it was Miss Scarlet.

well, the bot is (basically) done, with the caveats of "I've only tested against myself", and as the saying goes, any program can pass any test if you were the one who created both, so hopefully there'll be a chance to get some people to test it out sometime soon

and by "basically" done, I mean it should hopefully be able to go through a game successfully, but there might be a few bugs/bad spots... hence testing. :V
