Bill Niblock 69a22c8a22 Add help and listcommand logic 
Both `!help` and `!listcommand` are handled by the bot itself, so take
advantage of how the addons method calls work to implement both
`matrix_command` and `help_command` on `self`.

Add `help_command` to each currently enabled and functional addon

Chronicle

Chronicle is a multi-purpose chat bot.

It currently supports Matrix, but has ambitions of supporting Discord in the future.

Chronicle is still heavily work-in-progress, and the hobby of an occasionally productive fellow.

Features

  • List available commands (!listcommands) and get help with them (!help [COMMAND])
  • Ping (returns Pong!; good for testing connectivity)
  • Dice Roller (!roll 2d4 --> Roll: 2d4 ([2, 1]) ==> 3)
  • 8-ball (!8ball Will I win the lottery? --> Try again later)
  • Ad-hoc simple custom commands (!addcommand hello Hey there! --> !hello --> Hey there!)
  • More to come!

Planned Features

  • Simple calculator (!calc 8 + (9-10) --> Calc: 8 + (9 - 10) ==> 7)
  • Simple games (Blackjack, High/Low)
  • A "mystery" game (Kind of like Clue! or Noir Syndrome)
  • A "progress quest" like game (time-based character auto-progression)
  • Expanded custom commands (allow for commands with arguments)
  • Enabling of add-on features (ie., everything mentioned above) per room
  • Establish/restrict command permissions per user/role per room.
  • Change the command prefix (from default ! to whatever you'd like!)
  • Run in a Docker container!

Development

You can run your own instance of Chronicle with a few steps:

  1. Fork the repository, and clone it locally
  2. Setup a bot user in Matrix, and get it's "Access Token" (or use your own).
  3. Export the access token to CHRONICLE_ACCESS_TOKEN for ease of use
  4. Run bundle update to install dependencies.
  5. Run bundle exec chronicle -d <your-homeserver-address-here> CHRONICLE_ACCESS_TOKEN
  6. Invite the bot user to a room, and !ping to make sure it's working!
  7. Update the allowed_commands variable to add additional commands (for now).
