arcayr / timboslice Goto Github PK

When trying to go get github.com/Tecuane/TimboSlice or go build from a local checkout, go cannot find github.com/elliotspeck/markov:

timboslice.go:6:2: cannot find package "github.com/elliotspeck/markov" in any of:
	/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.13/libexec/src/github.com/elliotspeck/markov (from $GOROOT)
	/Users/jefferya/gocode/src/github.com/elliotspeck/markov (from $GOPATH)
timboslice.go:7:2: cannot find package "github.com/elliotspeck/markov/storage" in any of:
	/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.13/libexec/src/github.com/elliotspeck/markov/storage (from $GOROOT)
	/Users/jefferya/gocode/src/github.com/elliotspeck/markov/storage (from $GOPATH)

https://github.com/elliotspeck/markov returns a 404 in a browser. Is it possible this is a private repository that has not been made public?

The output generated by the bot pulls the initial prefix at random. Work could be done to allow it to pull in a random word (maybe more than four characters or so) from the previous sentence so that it looks more like it's attempting to add to the conversation.

Addition of a 'pingwords' array could be useful.

Deploying the bot is painful presently as it involves a lot of configuration and compiling malarkey. There's a go Docker container that will autocompile and run a package, which a TimHortons container should be built on top of.

Presently the bot just lazily takes os.ARGV[1] as the location of the config.json file, which isn't exactly how it should be done. Usage information and configuration via the flags package should be added.
