Protocol List

History

Programming language: C.
In the beginning, crank was just another mIRC client tied together with a bunch of perl scripts using qstat. Then for some unknown reason I decided to write an IRC bot, mostly because everyone has to create one at some point so I decided to get mine out of 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.
