Behaviors

Behaviors live in lib/yobot/behaviors. A behavior consists of at least one class that implements the following interface:

class MyBehavior

# reacts to a message in a chatroom (or not)
# room - a Firering::Room
# message - a text message written in the room (String)
def react(room, message)

end

# returns a short description string that explains how to use this behavior
def description
end

end

Behaviors should read all the configuration they need (e.g. API credentials) from ENV.
