# Pony IRC
This is a project to develop some code for working with IRC in Pony.
Here's my plan:
0. Look at the IRC protocol.
1. Write a simple TCP listener that I can connect to with an IRC client that dumps messages.
2. Try to evolve the code in 1 into something implements enough of the IRC protocol that the client is happy to talk to it.
3. Based on 2, write some client code that I can use to connect to freenode.
## Details
Currently using `ponyc` version `0.17.0-12b6a67`.
## Progress
* The server lives in `server` and can be built by running `ponyc .`
in that directory. It will write the messages it receives to
stdout. I'm currently connecting with `Textual`, an OS X IRC client.
* Added a shitty command parser.
* Add a command handler to the server.
* Add client. Run with `client NICK CHANNEL` where `NICK` is the IRC
nickname you want to use and `CHANNEL` is the channel you want to
join to. Connects to `irc.freenode.net`, port 6667. The bot replies
to messages that are sent to the nick.
* Add PING/PONG support to the client. No more getting the boot.
* Add a primitive for generating command strings.
* Separate command processing and handling.
* Better argument parsing. It now looks for a colon to find the last
argument.
* Add an IRCConnection actor that handles TCP Connection details.
* Pass IRCConnection actor to message handler functions.
* Break apart the application and the library.
* Send `IRCCommand` objects to the `IRCConnection` instead of sending
it raw `String`s.
### NEW
* Add explicit connect and disconnect from network connection to
server.
