ARX-7

A dumb IRC bot that wishes it had a Lambda Drive.

Commands

1. Choose Command: When a user types .c <list> as a message, ARX-7 will try to randomly select an entry in <list>. The following formats are recognized:

• 0-1.0: When given a decimal range in a similar format, a random number to the highest level of decimal points passed in as part of the range will be returned. For instance, .c 0-1.0 could return 0.8, while 1.000-3.37 could return 2.862.
