Started by

I want to make a bot for IRC with VC++. I thought of using WinSock but I have never done any programs/games using it so I''m a complete newby. Are there any good tutorials, examples or even wrappers? I''m grateful for any help Thanks, MindWipe "If it doesn''t fit, force it; if it breaks, it needed replacement anyway."

What kind of bot?

I doesn''t really matter.

I only want a program that can access an IRC Server & channel and say stuff and read what other people are saying. I want to make it my self...

If you want to make it yourself, read the RFC on the IRC protocol. Learn Winsock under VB (via Winsock Control) or C++. Then write the program.

been there done that, irc protocol is pish problem is parsing it
It''s just strings, use the c string functions
i have written a irc bot with c++/mfc.

it seams that some irc networks dont care so much about the rfc.
for example ping-pong in the quakenet is not as descriped in the rfc. i dont know about other networks.
with those diffences you cant even join the network!
