oolite_bot is a bot to run a trading route in Oolite. It is written in bash, using xwd, ImageMagick, and sha256sum.
A 4-part series of articles was written discussing the process of creating oolite_bot. The first article of the series can be found at jeffmcaffee.com/creating-a-simple-bot.
Please feel free to submit well written pull requests to improve these scripts.
All contributions are welcome: ideas, patches, documentation, bug reports, and complaints.
Here are some basic guidelines if you'd like to contribute:
- Have an idea or a feature request? File a ticket on github.
- If you think you found a bug, it probably is a bug. File it on github.
- If you want to send patches, best way is to fork this repo and send me a pull request.
First, create a github account if you do not already have one. Log in to github and go to the main oolite_bot github page.
At the top right, click on the button labeled "Fork". This will put a forked copy of the main oolite_bot repo into your account. Next, clone your account's github repo of oolite_bot. For example:
$ git clone [email protected]:yourusername/oolite_bot.git
Add the oolite_bot/bin
directory to your path or create aliases to oolite_bot/bin/bot
and oolite_bot/bin/bot-funcs.sh
from a directory that is on your path.
At this point, the bot
command should run directly from the code in your cloned
repo. Now simply make whatever changes you want, commit the code, and push
your commit back to master.
If you think your changes are ready to be merged back to the main oolite_bot repo, you can generate a pull request on the github website for your repo and send it in for review.
