# monop-board IRC Bot

Watches an IRC channel for monop-irc game output and writes `game-state.json`.

## Setup

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Configuration

Edit `config.json`:

```json
{
  "server": "irc.darkscience.net",
  "port": 6697,
  "tls": true,
  "nick": "monopbot",
  "channel": "#your-channel",
  "game_nick": "monop",
  "state_file": "../game-state.json"
}
```

- `game_nick` — the IRC nick of the monop-irc game process
- `state_file` — where to write the JSON game state (relative to bot dir)

## Usage

```bash
python3 monopbot.py
```

Or with a custom config:

```bash
MONOPBOT_CONFIG=/path/to/config.json python3 monopbot.py
```

The bot will:
1. Connect to IRC and join the configured channel
2. Watch for messages from the game bot
3. Parse game events (rolls, moves, purchases, rent, etc.)
4. Write updated state to `game-state.json` after each change
