Smoker's Multiphasic Tip Menu


About me

I am a software developer and software manager by profession. This is my first foray into JavaScript development and I will continue to iterate on this bot as my JavaScript skills and knowledge increase. My philosophy is that code should be readable by others, including my future self. To that extent, anyone reading the source code might find it to be slightly verbose, but hopefully it makes it easier to understand and verify. I aim for a very straightforward OO/procedural style. I welcome feedback from other developers and will duly credit them if I use their suggestions.

I have opted to release the source code for this bot, as I will do any others I write. By being open source, I hope that broadcasters will be able to trust that the bots I write do what I say they do and only what I say they do. Rumours abound on CB about bot authors who use their bots to glean private information from broadcaster and to implement scams. As I was learning the CB API, for example, it only took a few minutes to write a malicious bot would send me all incoming tip notes just by being in the room where said bot was running. In my opinion, broadcasters should take extra care to only use bots that they absolutely trust. Again, by releasing mine as open source I hope to gain that trust and to encourage other bot authors to engage in the same practice.

About this bot

The concept for this bot was originally suggested by my friend Lostmedic who was looking for a tip menu that incorporated fan club pricing AND which had a separate, private menu that broadcasters could use to share special items with their most important viewers. While My Menu by bobodeluxe incorporates fan club discounts, I couldn’t find a tip menu bot that incorporated all the features I wanted to include, so I proceed to write this one in my spare time over 3 days.

I hope you this bot meets your needs and that you and your viewers enjoy using it.

I am currently also working on a multipurpose bot which incorporates many of the basic features of all-in-one bots. My goal is for beginner and inexperienced broadcasters to use it to cover most of their needs until such time as it makes sense to find a more sophisticated option.
