History

Language: C.
In the beginning crank was only another mIRC client with a bunch of perl scripts using qstat. Then for some unknown reason I decided to write an IRC bot, everyone has to create one at some time so I had to get mine out the way. I originally coded all the game query code myself but in the end I went back to using qstat seeing as they do a great job at it.
