Mainly for Science servers. It is composed of various functions that would be beneficial for members.

Functions

Define word/phrase, --define <word/phrase>

This defines a given word/phrase using the summary from wikipedia. This returns the definition of the word, if the page does exists, else depending on the case it would return a certain response.

firstly, it would manually check if the word is in wikipedia, if it is not in dictionary it would return "the given term is not in Wikipedia, kindly correct the term and try again." and if it is in dictionary it would return a word suggest given by pyenchant

Give interesting science topic, --topic

This function gives a topic from the science news for the week reported by LiveScience it randomly selects on sub-sections of : ["space", "health", "planet-earth", "strange-news", "animals", "history"] and picks a random news from the selected section.

Scam links removal (automatic)

This works by scanning all the messages of the user, if the message contain a spam link, it would be removed while pinging the staff at the same time. But, depending on the permissions of the bot, if the bot is allowed to manage the server it would instead kick/ban the member instead of pinging the staff.

Thank you card feature (automatic)

Just to lighten the mood! This works by analyzing the message of the user, if the bot determined that it is saying thank you to particular person, it would emphasize it by giving it a reward like virtual object, which is thank you card.

Scientific paper abstract return (currently only works with PubMed), --abs-bio \<PubMed link\>

This returns the abstract of a given PubMed paper link, including the given URL.

OH is HYDROXIDE 🧪

This just sends HYDROXIDE 🧪 everything a message.content.lower() is "OH" or "oh".

Greet/reply to greetings

The bot would reply to greetings made by the members with the references given in params.py, with emoticons.

Source code send, --source-code

This sends the source code repository of the bot for whoever who requested or issued the command, whatever the purpose is. Then the bot deletes the message of the author immediately after recognition followed by the deletion of its response (the source code with some response) after 60.0 seconds.

On development functions

No homework dump message/reminder (automatic)

There are science servers where homework dumps are not allowed, however there are still members that joins with an aiming of being spoonfed with the answers. This works by asking every new members if they are on the particular server for homework or not, Are you here for homework or depending on the host, depending on the response the bot would determine whether to welcome the member or remind them of rules, and in persistence they would be kicked.

Simple science questions answer

Science servers are often thought as answer source, commonly bastard users dump trivial or even simple uninteresting questions to whatever science server they find. This works by fetching the question from the user and returning the answer taken from Google, it is also planned to put a repository for question and answers to be able to give more reliable answer than something given by Google scraped by bot without further review.

Setup for own hosting

The requirements of the bots are listed in requirements.txt and can be installed with

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then using git clone, the main branch (stable) repository can be cloned :

git clone https://github.com/yaacornus/cornusbot

However, the stable branch can be short on features. Unstable or devel branch can be cloned to accessa feature rich version, this is not as unstable as thought, and this has undergone preliminary testing before having the code commited.

git clone --branch devel https://github.com/yaacornus/cornusbot

Invite

The bot is currently in development phase, the link would be posted as soon as it enters the stable version.

Functions to be added

Contribution

For contribution, just make a pull request and the code changes would be reviewed for merging with the branch.
