A simple IRC trivia bot written in python using twisted.
Simple implementation. Questions are ` formatted in plain text files.
Configurable colored text to help differentiate game text from user text.
Event driven implementation: uses very little cycles.
triviabot uses a config.py and comes with an example for you to tweak and use.
Questions exist in files under $BOTDIR/questions. Each round, a file is selected at random, then a line is selected at random from the file.
The answer is then masked and the question is asked. Periodically, the bot will ask the current question again and unmask a letter. This happens three times before the answer is revealed.

It doesn't have multiple answers to a question. It shows you the format. Part of the game is to match its formatting.

Have error-free questions: the questions come from other bot implementations which themselves had horrible typos. There needs to be an army of editors to go through the 350+k lines and format them to the standard format for the bot. The bot was written to catch malformed questions so it wouldn't crash, but if it technically matches ` there's no way for the bot to understand that's not part of the question.
Look at the issues. Pull requests welcome.
