This is a simple little script that performs certain actions based on the change of phases of the moon. More specifically, when the moon passes a certain threshold of "fullness" and once it's dark out, the script will perform an action such as sending a message to a channel and changing nick. I was planning on using some web API to get sunrise/sunset times and moon illumination data, but I decided I could just do the calculations myself and save some bandwith.
Not going to lie, this script exists solely because I wanted to make a joke about my IRC nick.
- Clone this into your ~/.weechat/ruby/ directory
rake- In Weechat,
/ruby load fullmoon/fullmoon.rb
To unload, simply /ruby unload fullmoon.
/moon
Shows the moon illumination percentage for a given date, or today if no date is
specified.
/sunset
Shows the time of sunset for a given date, or today if no date is specified.
Implemented:
- Sunset time and moon phase calculation logic
- Script registers with Weechat
- Configurable settings
- /moon command - shows the moon illumination for a given date
- /sunset - show sunset times for given date
- Timing code that does things at sunset if sufficient moon illumination
Yet to come:
I don't plan to actively work on this script much more since it works for my
purposes, but if I were I'd probably implement a sunrise calculation that would
change your nick back.
