What are people using now to bridge matrix - irc - xmpp?

Is this also fallout of VC money being more sparse and matrix having to focus on core stuff?

Anyway, I've now completed a full “solitaire” game of the #Python reimplementation of my #Ruby #IRC #bot #Machiavelli plugin (hashtag galore yeah), so I believe the logic itself to be robust enough. The next step would be to start interfacing it with Mastodon. One thing that worries me is that the table can get rather largish, which may trip the character limit.


So I've started porting my #Machiavelli #Ruby #IRC #bot #plugin (how's that for hashtags, uh?) to #Python, which has been a rather frustrating experience so far. I'm much more comfortable with Ruby than Python, but the languages are similar enough that the differences fall into that grating #uncannyValley experience. Also lots of bugs due to syntactical and behavioral differences (e.g. index() raising an exception instead of returning the null type). But things are moving forward.


I've been thinking that something like @ihabunek `toot` could work as a basis for the bot. I haven't checked yet if it can be used as a #Python library, but worst case scenario I can probably shell out to it and use it literally as just I would any other CLI tool (bonus: I wouldn't have to port the #Ruby code of my #Machiavelli #IRC‌ #bot to Python 8-D).


One of the things that made writing my #Machiavelli #IRC #bot easy was that I could work on an existing IRC bot infrastructure (the Machiavelli game feature was just a plugin). So last night I tried looking for something similar for #ActivityPub, browsing the botwiki website without much success. There are interactive bots, even open source ones, but I couldn't find anything that would allow a bot to be written with just some glue for something more sophisticated than an image poster. #AskFedi


I love it so much that I've implemented it on an #IRC bot. Since joining the #Fediverse, I've had this plan to port it over. The game logic is there, but there's a lot of details about how things work here compared to IRC that require some attention to detail. Just to mention one, the games were public on IRC (one game per channel) with notifications sent to users for the card list. How would multiple games be managed here? By their “managing user” only? Should game action be unlisted?
