Bots.

I want to write a bot for something but it must be something legal.

Any ideas? Preferable something that isn't already over saturated with bots.

Here's one for you: Write a bot that relays between a /prog/ thread and IRC.

That's old news. How about the other direction? Make an IRC thread and create a new post for each message sent in the channel.

How about this: don't write a program that involves /prog/ at all because it's a shithole.

write a program that coverts a picture to ACII than posts it in IRC

Hasn't this been written?

but it must be something legal.
Oh look, what a coward. Well, play some nethack then or other roguelike.

A true bot with an internal model of the game, capable of making reasoned decisions about game events, and ultimately capable of ascending, remains elusive.

Write a bot which searches the web (or just /b/) for images and saves ones which match a certain pattern. The pattern will be something to detect nudez. You will work out how to do it yourself based on much analysis, trial, and insanity. The result will leave you both satisfied and deeply alone.

how do u know that u are not a bot?

joh joh joh /prog/ is so fresh against /prog/ reddit looks like a rat

in order to write a bot you must first create a universe.
