User:DryIce/YTMNDBot

YTMND AOL Instant Messenger Robot

DryIce's entry for the YTMND:API:Contest. TL;DR: An AIM Bot that allows instant access to information about a user or a site.

About

Written in Java 1.5, uses the TOC2 Protocol to connect to the AIM OSCAR Servers. Processes requests made via AIM, and connects to the API to get the requested data.

Status

Development

• 11/11/2007 - Compiled and tested class to connect to YTMND API and retrieve XML data
• 11/15/2007 - Compiled and run for the first time, bot is able to look up basic site info.
• 11/20/2007 - Smarter XML Parser. But being more of a serial parser rather than a DOM parser, it doesn't work well for things like /comments (Since the most recent comments are last rather than first).

Service

Online sporadicly for testing purposes only.
