Ok, this is my bot. He is a chatterbot with added features and a heck of a lot of source commentary. He is the result of months of development with no exposure to the rest of the bot world, so some things about him might not be normal. Even if you don't know C/C++ you'll have a chance at following whats going on, the source files (apart from the msn connection module) are heavily commented. To compile it yourself you'll need the libmsn library to be installed, which I'm sure a quick google will help you find. Theres no documentation with this release. Oh well, I'll post some when I can be bothered making some. Updates on whats happening with tiler appear on my blog (http://shmookey.beigetower.org/) first, then if I think they're interesting I might post them here. Anyway, I'm really truly open for suggestions, tilers been fuelled only by my own imagination until now. I'd be happy to hear what you think of him. He's on from time to time at tiler__@hotmail.com, and he'll be up a lot more often when I can get some real hosting for him. And thats all I can think of for now. Adios.

Zander: I learnt from a combination of example and the tutorial that comes with Visual C++ 6. A quick search for 'C++ tutorial' yields many results however, and I'm sure they all have their merit.
Mathieu: Start it in linux with ./tiler, once you have compiled it.
If anyone wants compilation instructions I'll write some up, otherwise you can wait for my new bot which I'll upload soon.
MSN.h is a part of libmsn, which is what you'd need. If you'd actually paid attention to shmookey's post, you would've noticed he said that. _________________ Check out Botworld! A dev resource for things bot.

Well it sounds like some people are wondering about libmsn. Its's here: http://libmsn.bdash.net.nz/ if you are looking for it, and when you go to compile it there will be an error. This is resolved by adding '#include ' to the top of the file that gets the error. I wouldn't try compiling in Windows yet, unless you really know what you are doing. An exception is with Cygwin, http://www.cygwin.com/, which provides a linux emulation layer to compile on, and makes the process quite easy, at the cost of a fair bit of downloading to be done. If you do really want a precompiled version, come on IRC or add me to your msn contact list and ask me, and if I have one that works handy I'll send it to you. Hopefully I'll have a new C++ bot, one that is fully portable (works on Linux and Windows) uploaded soon.
