TalkToOscar

IMPORTANT: I have rewritten an OSCAR library from the ground up. The new library, known as LibOrange, can be accessed at: https://github.com/unixpickle/LibOrange

This is a basic AOL Instant Messenger API for anything with Cocoa/Foundation, and an Objective-C compiler. It has not been tested on the iPhone, but it is relatively assumed that it will work. IMs are sent through an IM sender class, which encloses the main session class. Events such as incoming IMs, buddy art, and everything else is done by a session manager object, which contains multiple other manager objects for various tasks.

The feedbag manager is responsible for managing and updating the buddy list, and can be accessed with [sessionHandler feedbagHandler]. The structure of most things in this library is heavily Object Oriented, which is considered a positive thing by most.

Usage

This is a sample which accepts IM commands. These commands are:

add buddyname      # add buddy to the Buddies group
remove buddyname   # remove buddy from the Buddies group
addgroup group     # add a group if it does not exist already
removegroup group  # remove a group if it does exist
block username     # blocks a buddy or user
unblock username   # unblocks a buddy or user
buddylist          # prints out the buddy list
takeicon           # mirror the icon of the sender (if it is available)
setstatus message  # set the status message

When a command is run, the bot will reply with a message such as "Why do you say %s", where %s is the original message/command.
