Greetings,
I have recently made a GForth eval bot which you can use in ##forth channel on libera.chat . It’s pretty much in beta state right now and has some weird rough edges. you can run arbitrary forth code using !gforth prefix.
feel free to give me some feedback :)
Neat! Can you give some getting started instructions here for someone who’s forgotten basically everything they know about using IRC (and also doesn’t know gforth at all)?
I tried msging the bot directly in ##forth, but didn’t get any responses – my syntax may be wrong or I’m not msging it properly?
Thanks.
to connect to an IRC server you would need a IRC client, the most straight forward way to connect to IRC is using the web interface (https://web.libera.chat/).
you have to send message with !gforth prefix, so for example if you want to add two numbers 1 and 2 you will write something like the following in the IRC channel.
!gforth 1 2 + .don’t forget to add period ( . ) at the end!
Hmm, it’s working now (Fri 12:53 PST). Thanks.
Weird… I joined the channel last night via Libera web chat, and tried that… nothing responded. I’ll try again today and log what happens.
