BYOB (Build your own bot) - Build a matrix bot that acts on !commands

![screenshot](scrot.png "Screenshot")

## Usage

Here is a minimal example on how to build a custom bot that replies to a message "!ping" with "pong".

After starting it, you can invite it to any matrix room and it will join.

```go

package main

import 	"github.com/pinpox/matrix-bot"

// PingPongBot is a custom bot that will reply to !ping with "pong"

type PingPongBot struct {

	*matrixbot.MatrixBot

}

func main() {

	pass := "supersecretpass"

	user := "myawesomebot"

	bot, err := matrixbot.NewMatrixBot(user, pass)

	if err != nil {

		panic(err)

	}

	mypingPongBot := PingPongBot{bot}

  

        // Register a command like this

	bot.RegisterCommand("!ping", 0, mypingPongBot.handlePing)

	for {

		//Loop forever. If you don't have anything that keeps running, the bot will exit.

	}

}

// Handles the !ping message

func (mybot *PingPongBot) handlePing(message, room, sender string) {

	mybot.SendToRoom(room, "pong!")

}

```
