tagpro-bot

A library to create a bot for tagpro.

var tagbot = require('tagpro-bot');
var room = process.argv[2];
var uri = 'http://tagpro-pi.koalabeast.com'

tagbot.getSession(uri, function(err, session) {
  var socket = tagbot.connect(uri+':81/groups/'+room, session);
  socket.on('connect', function() {
      socket.emit('chat', 'Hello groups!');
  });
});

This library also has a Bot constructor, useful for creating a tagpro bot which can join groups, games, and the joiner. This bot has listeners registered on each socket to record the state of the game/group.

var room = process.argv[2];
var groupbot = Bot({
  hostname: 'http://tagpro-pi.koalabeast.com',
  room: room
});

// must have a session before connecting
groupbot.on('session', function() {
  var socket = groupbot.group.connect();
  socket.on('connect', function() {
    socket.emit('name', 'groupbot');
    socket.emit('chat', 'Hi, I\'m group bot!');
    setTimeout(function() {
      socket.emit('chat', 'Goodbye!');
      socket.disconnect();
    }, 5e3);
  });
});

Usage

.connect(uri, session, callback)

Open a new socket.io connection at the given uri.

• uri: location to open the socket.io sessei
• 'session`: tagpro session id to send with socket connection
• callback: called after opening the socket connection with callback(err, socket)

.getSession(uri, callback)

Retrieve a session token, necessary to open a socket connection.

• uri: location to open the socket.io sessei
• callback: called when the session is ready with callback(err, session)

.Bot(options)

Create a new Bot instance, which has useful functions to connect to games, groups, or the joiner. On each socket, listeners will be registered to aid in keeping track of the game's state.
