IRC Trivia Bot

[ZedGama3]

Does anyone know of a counterpart for Trivia.pm for POE::Component::IRC?

From what I read POE::Component::IRC is supposed to be alot better than
Net::IRC because it's event driven rather than loop driven ( if I understand
that correctly ).

So far I've already setup a bot with POE::Component::IRC and wouldn't be
opposed to making my own trivia component but I don't know how to setup a
timed event so the tivia bot will keep going without making other items
wait. So if no one gets it right in 10sec it gives a hint, 10sec later
another hint, until it tells you the answer and picks a new question or if
someone gets it right the bot automaticly congratulates the user and picks a
new question.

Timers are supplied by the base POE distribution, not by
POE::Component::IRC. Look for alarm and delay in perldoc POE.

You may also want to look at a bot that uses timers. Acro is an acronym
game for IRC, and it uses timers extensively. See
