sopel-8ball

Sopel magic 8 ball plugin:

<User> .8ball Do you know the future?
<Sopel> User: You may rely on it.
<User> .8ball Do you like me?
<Sopel> User: Better not tell you now.
<User> .8ball Will I live forever?
<Sopel> User: Very doubtful.

Install

The preferred way to install this plugin is through pip:

$ pip install sopel-8ball

Note that you may need to use pip3, depending on your system and your installation.

Once this is done, you should configure and enable the plugin:

$ sopel-plugins configure 8ball
$ sopel-plugins enable 8ball

And then, restart your bot: this, again, depends on your system and how you run your bot.

Magic 8 ball choices

There are more than one style of choices you can select:

  • classic: the classic version (10 yes, 5 maybe, 5 no)

  • snarky: this version is rude (5 yes, 5 maybe, 10 no)

  • spooky: use at your own risk (5 yes, 10 maybe, 5 no, 100% freaky)

  • thefrench: experience French profanity (5 yes, 5 maybe, 5 no, 100% French)

  • weeaball: for japanese style fan \(^▽^)/ (7 yes, 9 maybe, 7 no, 100% kaomoji)

  • yesno: only “yes” or “no” (1 yes, 0 maybe, 1 no, 100% assertive)

This can be configured with the Sopel configuration wizard:

$ sopel-plugins configure 8ball

Or manually, by editing your configuration and adding this section:

[magic8ball]
choices = classic

Replace classic (the default) by one of the value above.
