'''KotHBot''' is a program developed by [[Infil]] to streamline the administration of [[KotH]] challenges and provide an interface for hosts to quickly or automatically mark questions and participants to view current leaderboards, time remaining, and other statistics. The program started modestly, but has grown to attempt to handle all types of KotH trivia challenges.
'''KotHBot''' is a program developed by [[Infil]] to streamline the administration of [[KotH]] challenges and provide an interface for hosts to quickly or automatically mark questions and participants to view current leaderboards, time remaining, and other statistics. The program started modestly, but has grown to attempt to handle all types of KotH trivia challenges.
Development started in July 2007, and the project is currently in the beta phase, which allows full-featured KotHs to be self-run and automatically marked (interested readers are encouraged to test the beta and provide feedback: further instructions can be found [http://p075.ezboard.com/fperfectdarkelitefrm1.showMessage?topicID=4873.topic here]). During July and August, Infil devoted much of his spare time to the successful completion of the program before September, but fell short of his goal due to technical issues and other obligations. He is currently 95% done, but unfortunately missed the 2007 US KotH season. Infil continues development and testing in his limited spare time, and will certainly have the program ready for the next Elite KotH season.
Development started in July 2007, and Infil worked full time on the project until other obligations pulled him away from the project, then over 90% complete, in September. After several months away, Infil got back to work on the project in April 2008 and KotHBot is now nearly 100% complete. Several successful KotH tests using the bot have taken place and will be used for the Elite's 2008 KotH season to administer all IM-style challenges. Those interested in more details are encouraged to check out the [http://kothbot.speedrunwiki.com/ project website], where they can download the software and read more about its capabilities and features.
