This article is about the IRC bot. For other uses, see Rodney.

Rodney is the bot which announces deaths on the #nethack@freenode channel. He also has a simple database in which users can record useful information for each other; many good tips and advice are contained therein.

Functionality

Notable parts of Rodney's functionality:

  • Game announcements. Whenever somebody ends a game on nethack.alt.org (whether by death, ascension, escape, or #quit), Rodney will announce that fact in the channel.
    • Rodney now also announces when a player wishes, performs the Invocation, or enters the planes.
  • learndb. Any member of the channel can view/add/remove/edit items in Rodney's database. This is a useful repository of information as well as humor. In many ways it's a wiki without history.
  • Search past games with the !lg command.
  • URL shorthand: "!wl article" returns a link to the wiki article
  • Wiki announcements. Edits etc are announced in #nethackwiki.
  • Many more, see Rodney bot help.

Maintainers

  • dtype was the original programmer.
  • paxed has maintained Rodney for some time.
